It's getting out of control. Just yesterday, I was turning on remote desktop on Windows 11. It showed as enabled, with a label indicating that it was listening on port 3389, but it wasn't accessible from a remote host. I checked on Windows, and it turned out it wasn't actually listening on the RDP port at all. I tried toggling it off and on again, still nothing. Only a reboot helped.

A few weeks ago, a family member had Notepad stop working suddenly, showing an error saying it couldn't execute the binary or something similar. Reinstalling it from the Microsoft store or even downloading other official versions didn't help, they had to restore Windows from a backup.

This is common knowledge. If something does not work in Windows, reboot. If it still doesn't work, reinstall.
