Guides
Fix it guides
When a test says something is wrong, these explain what to do next. Written in the order the causes actually turn out to be, not alphabetically.
01
Microphone not working on Windows 11
Ranked by what it actually turns out to be. Bluetooth headsets have their own trap.
02
Webcam showing a black screen
Streaming but black. Often the IR camera, not the one you think.
03
How to fix controller stick drift
Measure it, clean it properly, and know when cleaning is only buying time.
Test before you fix
Every guide starts by narrowing down what is actually broken, because most time lost to a hardware problem is spent fixing the wrong thing. The tests take under a minute and tell you whether the fault is the device, the software, or a setting.
