Adobe Acrobat Reader Download – For Microsoft Windows

I successfully answered another question on a third party website, where I earn supplemental income by answering computer and technology-related questions. Here is the customer’s question:

 

I have a computer with Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium as the operating system. Recently I typed in some forms I downloaded from a website. I saved them, thinking they were going for my documents.

Here they went to PDF. When I tried to reopen them, it said I needed to install Adobe acrobat, which I have tried to do many times without success. The Adobe site offers no help.

How can I download the version of Adobe Acrobat so my PDF files will open? Also, how can I transfer them from PDF to my document folder?

 

I remotely connected to the customer's computer and fixed their Adobe Acrobat software problem. They had Adobe Acrobat version 8.1.2 partially installed. When you tried to run the Adobe Acrobat reader software program, it prompted the reinstall that failed.

I went into the Microsoft Windows Vista home premium operating system “Control Panel” and then selected “Programs and Features”. I removed the Adobe Acrobat reader software program successfully. Also, I ran both “Cleaner” and “Registry” scans with my preferred computer optimization tool.

As an example, this Microsoft Windows Vista home premium operating system had over five gigabytes of unnecessary files on the computer. Also, over fifteen hundred registry items were cluttering up this computer. I often run a computer optimization program after removing software programs as part of routine system maintenance.

The Microsoft Windows Vista operating system is no longer supported by Adobe. However, I manually downloaded the Microsoft Windows XP service pack three setup from the official Adobe Acrobat Reader download web page. When I visited that page on the customers’ Microsoft Windows Vista home premium operating system, I was given the option to choose what operating system was installed.

Most times, that download page will automatically detect your computer operating system. I included the link above to the “Other Versions” web page link for Adobe Acrobat reader. You must then choose which operating system you are using.

Under “Step 1”, choose which computer operating system from the dropdown list you are presented with. In this case, since Microsoft Windows Vista operating system is not supported, choose “Windows XP SP3”. Under “Step 2”, select your language, for example “English” from a dropdown list.

Finally, under “Step 3”, select the version of Adobe Acrobat Reader you want to install. In this case, I was only given the choice of downloading “Reader 11.0.08 English for Windows”. You can uncheck the “Optional offer”.

Click on the “Download now” button on the right-hand side. This will now prompt you to download Adobe Acrobat reader version 11.0.08 installer to your computer. Double click this executable to begin the software program installation.

This installer still has to download and install the full version of Adobe Acrobat Reader version 11.0.08. I was able to successfully install this software on my customers' computer.

Instead of performing all of the afore mentioned troubleshooting steps, you can try performing a Microsoft Windows Vista system restore. Sometimes Microsoft Windows system restore is not enabled. Thus, you will not have a system restore point.

If you are fortunate enough to have the Microsoft Windows system restore enabled, you should see at least one restore point. I will provide you with exact system restore instructions for Microsoft Windows seven operating system, Microsoft Windows eight operating system, and Microsoft Windows ten operating system. If you are using a different Microsoft Windows operating system, those instructions may be similar.

MICROSOFT WINDOWS 7 SYSTEM RESTORE

You can perform a system restore. Restore your computer back to before you had this problem. You should see at least one restore point as long as the system restore was already enabled.

Click the Windows seven "Start" button. Then select "All Programs". Choose "Accessories".

Select the "System Tools" program group. Click the "System Restore" program icon. Click on "Next".

In the next window you will be able to select your restore point. What you want to choose here is a date and time before you had your current problem. Choose a restore point back to before you had your current computer problem(s).

Now you click “Next”. In order to begin restoring the system, you select “Finish”. Your computer will have to reboot in order to restore it back to the restore point that you picked.

MICROSOFT WINDOWS 8 SYSTEM RESTORE

You will want to swipe on from the right edge of your screen, and then click "Search". Type "Control Panel" in the search box, and then select "Control Panel". Type "Recovery" in the Control Panel search box, and then select "Recovery".

Click on "Open System Restore" and then follow the remaining instructions.

MICROSOFT WINDOWS 10 SYSTEM RESTORE

Click the Windows ten start menu icon in the lower left corner. Select Search and type in System Restore. Click on Create a restore point.

A System properties window will open up. You should be in the System protection tab of that window. Click on System Restore.

Another System Restore window will open up. Click on Next. In the next window you will be able to select your restore point.

Also, you can place a check box in the "Show more restore points" box, if that option is available. What you want to choose here is a date and time before you had your current problem. Choose a restore point back to before you had your current computer problem(s).

Now you click “Next”. In order to begin restoring the system, you select “Finish”. Your computer will have to reboot in order to restore it back to the restore point that you picked.

Hopefully, you are now able to successfully install the Adobe Acrobat reader onto your computer with the help of some of these tips. When in doubt, you can always perform a Microsoft Windows system restore to potentially fix your problem. However, there are times when Microsoft Windows system restore is not enabled or it will not successfully run.

this is Aaron with you today this one

0:02

deals with Adobe Acrobat Reader download

0:04

for Microsoft Windows I had a customer

0:07

since I work for a third-party website

0:11

where I earn supplemental income

0:13

answering

0:14

computer and technology related

0:16

questions this was the client's question

0:20

quoted verbatim on screen highlighted

0:24

I have a computer with Microsoft Windows

0:26

Vista Home Premium as the operating

0:28

system recently I typed in some forms I

0:30

downloaded from a website I saved them

0:32

thinking they were going for my

0:34

documents here they went to PDF

0:38

when I tried to all reopen them it said

0:40

I needed to install Adobe Acrobat which

0:42

I have to try to do many times without

0:43

success the Adobe site offers no help

0:45

how can I download the version of Adobe

0:47

Acrobat so my PDF files will open

0:50

there's a last question but I had no

0:52

idea what they were talking about so I'm

0:54

just going to skip that this video deals

0:56

with how you can manually install Adobe

0:59

Acrobat Reader on microcraft Microsoft

1:02

Wind Blows operating system all the way

1:04

back to Windows XP Service Pack 3. did

1:07

you know that Adobe Acrobat is still

1:09

compatible with

1:12

Microsoft Windows XP

1:15

and I'll show it to you later in this

1:18

video okay so basically I remotely

1:20

connected to their computer and fixed

1:23

their Adobe Acrobat software problem

1:26

they had Adobe Acrobat version

1:30

8.1.2 installed I use the word partially

1:34

it may have been fully installed but it

1:36

didn't work when you tried to actually

1:38

open up Adobe Acrobat on their Microsoft

1:42

Windows Vista computer

1:46

they would get prompted with an error

1:49

that asked them to reinstall it says if

1:52

if prompted to reinstalled it failed

1:56

yeah that that was basically the error

2:00

and yes they were using Microsoft

2:02

Windows Vista this is an older blog post

2:05

that I went back and I found that I did

2:07

not record a video or I may have

2:09

accidentally deleted the video so you

2:11

know

2:12

I went back to update this blog post and

2:15

put my chagrin new video so here's the

2:18

video okay so here is how I fixed that

2:21

problem so this video

2:25

is specifically if you need to install

2:28

Adobe Acrobat manually now Adobe Acrobat

2:31

has a tool that will automatically

2:34

detect your operating system this is in

2:37

case your operating system is not

2:39

detected and it is another Microsoft

2:42

Windows problem Microsoft Windows

2:43

operating system notoriously have

2:45

problems okay

2:47

so I went to Microsoft Windows Vista

2:51

operating system home the Home Premium

2:54

Edition the control panel then I

2:56

selected

2:57

programs and features

2:59

I removed Adobe Acrobat Reader from

3:02

programs and features successfully

3:05

now this is where I differentiate myself

3:08

from a lot of alleged

3:12

technicians on YouTube I think that

3:14

there are a lot of YouTube technology

3:16

shills that give out terrible advice

3:19

wrong answers they may even lie to you

3:22

because they're they're just in it for

3:24

the money they're not really there they

3:26

don't necessarily record videos to help

3:28

people they want your money

3:31

okay now I have noticed a pattern this

3:36

is what happens on Microsoft Windows

3:37

operating system a lot of times programs

3:39

do not clean up after themselves when

3:42

you remove them from device manager

3:44

excuse me from programs and features or

3:46

add remote programs depending on which

3:48

version of Microsoft Windows you're

3:49

using you'll notice if you browse to the

3:52

C drive or your hard drive

3:55

under you know where programs are

3:57

installed programs and features

3:59

there's files still there and I also

4:03

notice a pattern with a registry so you

4:06

do not have to use CCleaner CCleaner is

4:09

my preferred

4:11

Microsoft Windows computer optimization

4:14

tool I ran both a c cleaner cleaner and

4:19

registry scan so you want to use the

4:21

cleaner tool and the registry tool now

4:23

here's an additional tip I usually run

4:26

them three times each

4:28

I run the cleaner and the registry scan

4:30

with CCleaner the cleaner tool will

4:33

clean up any files that are not

4:36

necessary you know

4:38

temporary files cache files

4:41

you know and when programs don't clean

4:44

up after themselves they will remove

4:46

those files for you and also the

4:48

registry it will scan the registry and

4:51

look for registry entries that are not

4:54

necessary

4:55

caveat amp tour

4:57

you

4:58

you would want to back up your registry

5:00

and CCleaner does have a tool that you

5:03

can back up your Windows registry all

5:05

right so I just became accustomed to

5:09

always whenever

5:12

troubleshooting our Microsoft Windows

5:14

anytime I had to troubleshoot software

5:17

that didn't work I had to reinstall it

5:19

just went ahead and used CCleaner

5:20

because sometimes

5:23

just that's what happened and it's not

5:25

just Microsoft Windows Apple Macintosh

5:28

and even Linux when you remove programs

5:30

on even Linux you go back and and look

5:34

where they were located and sure enough

5:36

some of the files are still there and

5:38

it's just very perplexing okay but on

5:40

Microsoft Windows that can be a problem

5:42

and and then the registry too can be a

5:45

problem and here's why

5:47

you'll try to reinstall the software you

5:50

might try it 10 times and it will not

5:52

reinstall because the files are still

5:55

there

5:57

and then also there's registry entries

5:59

which can cause a problem okay let's

6:01

move along from this just some

6:03

additional technical you know statistics

6:05

that you may not care but this computer

6:07

actually had over five gigabytes of

6:09

unnecessary files which would be in temp

6:11

files cash blah blah blah

6:14

what else over 1500 registry items that

6:17

were cluttering up the computer and

6:19

here's another additional tip Microsoft

6:21

Windows and Apple Macintosh

6:23

can

6:27

become slow over time they they act slow

6:32

CCleaner not always but a lot of times

6:35

when I when I run a cleaner and a

6:38

registry scan

6:40

it improves the speed yes it does it can

6:43

because cluttered up files and cluttered

6:45

up registry entries can cause a problem

6:47

same thing with Apple Macintosh

6:48

cluttered up files can actually cause

6:50

the operating system to slow down that

6:54

what I mean by that is when you open up

6:56

programs they just take longer and

6:58

longer they're less argic and blah blah

7:00

blah blah and I know for a fact because

7:01

I've used CCleaner countless times on

7:04

both Microsoft Windows and Apple

7:06

Macintosh operating systems however you

7:08

do not need to use CCleaner if you don't

7:10

want to there's other tools out there

7:12

that you can find

7:15

that is part of my routine maintenance

7:17

okay it's just a optimization tool okay

7:20

now Microsoft Windows Vista is not

7:24

supported by Adobe any longer which

7:27

the reason why I'm laughing is because

7:30

Microsoft Windows XP is still supported

7:33

and I'm going to prove it to you however

7:35

I had to manually download Microsoft

7:37

Windows XP service packs to reset up

7:40

from the official Adobe Acrobat Reader

7:42

download and we can open that up and

7:44

I'll let it download in the background

7:45

there

7:46

and then

7:52

you may be wondering why in the world

7:54

would I download Microsoft Windows XP

7:56

Service reset it from the official Adobe

7:57

Acrobat Reader download webpage well

7:59

because Microsoft Windows Vista is no

8:02

longer supported

8:05

sometimes well especially when you're

8:07

Information Technology professional you

8:09

have to think outside of a box I just

8:11

thought I would try it I was actually

8:13

able to install Microsoft Windows XP

8:15

Service Pack 3 version of Adobe Acrobat

8:18

Reader onto Microsoft Windows Vista

8:19

believe it or not yes I did that's how I

8:21

fixed this problem now I'm going to show

8:24

you in a few moments I'll demonstrate on

8:27

what you have to do but basically what I

8:28

did is I visited this webpage that I'm

8:30

going to show it to you

8:33

on their computer they were using

8:35

Microsoft Windows Vista Home operating

8:37

system

8:37

and then it gave me the option to choose

8:40

what operating system was installed now

8:42

this is not the tool from Adobe that

8:45

automatically detects your operating

8:46

system now this is a a lot of people may

8:49

not know about this webpage this is a

8:51

way where you can manually choose the

8:54

exact version of Adobe Acrobat Reader

8:56

that you want to download in case you

8:58

are having problems installing it or

9:00

maybe you just want to install it that

9:01

way and you know you know just I don't

9:04

know why but oh you know what anyways

9:07

let's digress away from that yeah some

9:09

people like to just install software

9:12

manually the old school way with

9:14

Microsoft Windows 95 I mean hey that's

9:19

how long I have that's how far back I go

9:21

actually I use Microsoft Windows for

9:23

work groups 3.11 that's off our back and

9:28

here's a quick story back in the day

9:30

with Microsoft Windows 3.11 for Windows

9:33

for work groups and Microsoft Windows 95

9:36

you had to install them from disks no no

9:38

no no no not not compact disk read only

9:41

memory not CD-ROMs not not digital video

9:45

disk I also known as DVDs no they were

9:48

floppy disks three and a half inch

9:50

floppy disks and I think I could be

9:53

wrong but I think Microsoft Windows 95

9:54

was like 13 discs the number 13. and

9:57

then I think windows for work groups was

10:00

six discs anyways I digress back to this

10:04

more current contemporary video which in

10:08

20 years might be really archaic and

10:12

nobody would understand what I'm talking

10:14

about because you know anyways I'm just

10:16

you know okay let's move along

10:19

now again that now that page will detect

10:22

your operating system well you know what

10:24

I think that page does detect most times

10:27

that download page would automatically

10:28

that's right you know why because I'm

10:29

using Linux okay hey I'm not perfect

10:33

I'm using Linux and that's why it

10:34

doesn't detect my operating system okay

10:36

so okay let's move along from that but

10:39

no this video is showing you how to

10:41

manually install

10:43

Adobe accurate reader I included the

10:45

link above to the other okay let's now

10:48

demonstrate I think it may be better

10:51

okay so well I'll just quickly read over

10:53

not verbatim okay so the webpage that I

10:57

provided is the other version of web

10:59

page link

11:01

oh no I'm confused that's I am correct I

11:04

was correct to begin with this webpage

11:06

get that adobe.com reader slash other

11:09

versions does not automatically detect

11:11

your operating system that's correct

11:12

it's a it's how you manually install it

11:15

okay and I'm not going to include the

11:18

link to the tool that are that you can

11:20

automatically it will automatically

11:22

detect your option you can find it you

11:24

know it's quick internet search that's

11:25

not the point of this video

11:29

now you're gonna have to choose which

11:31

operating system you are using so under

11:34

step one you would choose whichever

11:36

operating system that you want to

11:38

install Adobe Acrobat Reader for from

11:39

the drop down list

11:43

now since Microsoft Windows Vista was

11:45

not it is not supported and was not

11:48

supported at that time I chose Windows

11:50

XP Service Pack three and then now step

11:52

two you're going to choose your language

11:54

so you want to choose the language that

11:56

you want the software written in so

11:59

English you know Japanese Chinese you

12:02

want to make sure you get the correct

12:04

language if you choose a wrong language

12:06

you don't speak that language when you

12:08

install a software it will be in Greek

12:09

or it'll be in Spanish or it'll be in

12:11

Russian and you'll have no clue how to

12:13

use the software and then you're going

12:14

to blame me I mean when in doubt blame

12:17

the you know computer support technician

12:20

I mean finally under step three you will

12:22

select the version of Adobe Acrobat

12:24

Reader that you want to install

12:26

now I was only given one choice in this

12:28

scenario and that was Adobe Acrobat

12:31

Reader

12:34

11.0.08 for Windows

12:36

and then you can also uncheck the

12:38

optional offer then you're going to

12:41

click on the download now button on the

12:43

right hand side

12:45

and then that will prompt you to

12:47

download Adobe Acrobat Reader version

12:49

11.0.08 installer so it's just an

12:51

installer it's a smaller file you

12:53

download to your computer go find it

12:55

double click it'll open up and then it

12:58

will download the full version of Adobe

13:01

Acrobat Reader in this scenario version

13:04

11.0.0.8 then once it finishes

13:06

downloading the full version

13:08

you will double click the executable to

13:10

begin the program installation all right

13:14

but it is it has to download and install

13:17

it for a version that's what the the

13:19

installer is for

13:21

I have no idea why that is that you you

13:24

download a small piece and then the

13:26

smaller piece downloads the full version

13:28

and that's just how they roll

13:30

and I was able to successfully believe

13:33

it or not install Adobe Acrobat Reader

13:35

version

13:36

11.0.0.8 specifically for Windows XP

13:41

Service Pack 3 on a Microsoft Windows

13:44

Vista Home Edition

13:46

yes I was because I tested it

13:49

and it worked sometimes you have to

13:51

think outside of a box

13:53

okay now I'm going to demonstrate

13:56

right here

13:58

get out of adobe.com reader slash other

14:01

versions uniform resource locator on

14:02

screen highlighted type that into your

14:04

web browser if you misspell it's not my

14:06

problem I mean

14:08

okay let's move now just choose your

14:11

operating system bam oh oh I still have

14:15

Windows Vista oh it's not supported oh

14:18

given two options you're given reader DC

16:51

which is okay there is a little bit

16:53

computer back in the day it was just

16:55

Acrobat Reader and that was it now it's

16:58

known as reader DC I don't [ __ ] know

17:00

why these computer companies like to

17:03

change names I think that's a big

17:04

mistake people become accustomed to oh

17:10

Adobe Acrobat Reader I installed that

17:12

back in 2010 oh it's 2020. oh oh oh oh

17:17

oh reader DC well I don't know what that

17:19

is I need Adobe operator oh my God oh my

17:21

God Adobe they retired a reader oh my

17:24

God what am I gonna do I can't read this

17:26

though the portable document format well

17:28

no no it's the same thing I I just I

17:31

don't like it when companies rename her

17:33

I don't know why they do it to screw

17:36

with people or marketing I don't know

17:38

but reader DC is known as Adobe Acrobat

17:42

Reader and 2002

17:47

23.003.20 269. now English Windows

17:50

64-bit and then they have another

17:52

version same number

17:55

four Windows I'm assuming that the first

17:57

version English for Windows is 32-bit

18:00

yes there are I know it could be amazing

18:02

there are some computers around some

18:06

Hardware some computer hardware that is

18:08

32-bit if you have that Hardware choose

18:11

here here it went in doubt choose

18:13

Windows 64-bit chances are most

18:16

computers nowadays even if they're 10

18:19

years old most likely will be windows 64

18:21

but there could be some computers out in

18:24

the wild so to speak there 32-bit if

18:26

Windows 64-bit does not work this is a

18:28

general tip for you know computers in

18:30

general when in doubt download 64-bit

18:33

version if that doesn't work try the the

18:35

32-bit or the version like in this case

18:38

it is not labeled I'm I'm pretty sure

18:40

that that's what this other version is

18:42

it's just a 32-bit version I don't know

18:44

why they didn't specify it you know what

18:46

I'm saying that's that's anyways if I

18:48

start complaining about you know

18:50

everything I I notice on websites I

18:52

could be here all night okay so then you

18:54

just click on the blue download Acrobat

18:55

Reader it's a small installer

18:59

program double click it find it double

19:02

click it allow it to download the full

19:05

version of Adobe Acrobat Reader and then

19:08

when it once it's done downloading it'll

19:10

start installing it there may be a

19:13

progress indicator and then eventually

19:15

it should say complete or successful or

19:18

whatever

19:19

and then that is it

19:22

so this video pertain to how you can

19:26

download Adobe Acrobat Reader for

19:29

Microsoft Windows it's known as DC

19:32

nowadays so look for Adobe DC or you

19:35

know what I'm saying

19:37

anything further with this that is how I

19:39

fix our issue you know what I'm saying I

19:42

actually had to download Microsoft

19:44

Windows Service Pack 3 Adobe Acrobat

19:46

Reader 11.0.0.8

19:49

on Windows Vista Home Premium it

19:52

actually worked

19:54

now

19:55

I'm done with that portion of the video

19:57

this is some additional tips now you

19:59

notice uh it's a lengthy video that's

20:01

because it originally I had to perform

20:03

some troubleshooting I was like why

20:05

didn't this software work why am I

20:07

getting this error oh why can't I just

20:10

download Adobe Acrobat Reader for

20:12

Windows Vista and then reinstall it oh

20:14

well number one they don't you know they

20:16

don't

20:17

[Music]

20:18

at that time and and obviously still now

20:21

they don't support Windows Vista and

20:23

they're this customer claimed that there

20:25

was no help they couldn't find anything

20:27

from Adobe telling them that we do not

20:30

loan we no longer support Microsoft

20:33

Windows Vista

20:35

and then they wouldn't chances are 99

20:38

I'm not being condescending I'm just why

20:40

would they know I don't expect an

20:41

average consumer to know oh well you can

20:44

just try a different version for a

20:45

different operating system and it will

20:47

work no now I have tested that out I

20:49

have to it doesn't always work but I

20:51

have noticed that sometimes

20:53

you know you can you could use the same

20:56

theory on Microsoft excuse me on Apple

20:59

Mac and crap also known as Apple

21:01

Macintosh operating system you could

21:03

always choose a different version that

21:05

supports a different version of mac and

21:07

see if it'll work on a newer version but

21:09

there's no guarantees in that you know

21:11

what I'm saying

21:13

okay so let's just quickly now

21:17

I think probably I tried to perform a

21:20

system restore and it did not work if

21:22

you do not know what Microsoft Windows

21:24

system restore is it is a utility

21:27

I usually do not brag about Microsoft

21:30

and I'm not really bragging but I

21:32

actually am giving them some credit

21:34

which is very rare

21:35

or system restore when it works is a

21:38

good tool

21:39

basically what system restore is it will

21:42

restore Microsoft Windows back to a

21:45

restore point it's an image

21:48

for your problem occurred

21:50

now number one system restore must be

21:53

enabled number two

21:57

you must have a restore point

22:00

you should if it's enabled if it's been

22:02

enabled for a while you should have at

22:03

least one restore point however

22:05

if you only have one restore point this

22:08

problem may have occurred before that or

22:11

excuse me since since then well so my

22:15

point is that what you want to do when

22:16

you use Microsoft Windows system restore

22:18

you want to choose a restore point back

22:22

before you had this problem if you

22:25

choose a restore point that was since

22:28

the problem occurred it's good you're

22:30

wasting time so that that's basically

22:32

what system restore is for it's it can

22:35

be an excellent tool

22:36

if you have certain problems like maybe

22:40

you installed a Microsoft Wind Blows

22:42

update that that cause problems it it

22:45

will restore Windows back to before you

22:48

install that update so in this scenario

22:50

it would have restored Windows Back to

22:52

Before Adobe Acrobat Reader quit working

22:55

and they received that error all right

22:58

I'm pretty sure I would have checked and

23:00

there either was no restore point or

23:02

there was not one before that would have

23:04

you know would have reverted Adobe

23:07

Acrobat Reader back to when it worked

23:09

or you know it failed yes and that let

23:13

me give you another you know you may not

23:15

like what I don't care about you if you

23:18

think I'm negative this is the real

23:20

world Microsoft operating system has

23:22

major problems they always have all the

23:24

way back to Windows 95 I would say

23:25

windows 11 was pretty basic I well

23:28

excuse me windows windows for work

23:30

groups Windows 3.1 and 3.11 for work

23:34

group it was really basic yeah did it

23:37

yeah of course it may have had problems

23:39

but there was a huge difference but

23:41

here's another story there was a huge

23:42

difference between Microsoft Windows 95

23:44

and Microsoft Windows 3.1 and one 3.11

23:49

windows for work groups it was an

23:51

entirely different monster I would say

23:54

that Microsoft Windows 95 was closer to

23:56

the operating systems that you use now

23:58

obviously they're not the same they

24:00

weren't nearly as bloated but a lot

24:03

similar when it comes to programming you

24:05

know what I'm saying and they did have

24:07

updates you would have you would install

24:08

updates on one there's no 95 but back

24:11

then you had to anyways I don't want to

24:12

digress further that was a quick quick

24:14

story about my experiences with Windows

24:17

95 but not much has changed Windows 11

24:20

has problems Windows 10 has probably in

24:22

Microsoft note historically notoriously

24:25

has problems with the Windows updates

24:27

that will cause major problems okay

24:31

thank you

24:33

so the I'm gonna I provided the

24:36

instruction I'm not gonna go over all

24:37

them so here's another way you could

24:40

have fixed the problem number one

24:43

system restore was enabled number two

24:45

you had a restore point oh okay go ahead

24:47

and try system restore and

24:51

revert it back to the to before you had

24:54

this problem but yes sometimes Microsoft

24:57

Windows system restore does not work

25:01

you'll choose a restore point you'll

25:03

click next and it'll it'll blow up it'll

25:06

it won't work it will have an error or

25:09

it'll yeah you know what I'm saying that

25:11

I am not going to include any of that

25:12

troubleshoot this video is already way

26:35

might be able to kick off a system

26:37

restore

26:38

on Microsoft Windows 11 following these

26:41

windows 10 instructions but it's it's

26:43

not the exact same you know what I'm

it and it should show up and then select
