first attempt running it.
I'll attempt these trouble shooting steps tonight. It's wiper bizarre since I've owned the laptop for a while. If those don't work it likely is my laptop dying.
I appreciate the quick response!
having some issues downloading- "windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. you may not have the appropriate permissions to access this item". Theoretically it shouldnt be a lack of access issue since i am only profile/account on this pc... lol. but perhaps i'm missing something else?
