    A decent Microsoft forum anyone?

    Can anyone here recommend a trustworthy forum for MS Windows issues? I'm suddenly having a problem with System Restore so I typed Microsoft Windows forum into Google but there are literally dozens of them (none of which are affiliated to Microsoft). so I'm guessing that at least some will likely be malevolent.

    Here's a Sister Site that I've been a member of since 1999.
    https://discussions.virtualdr.com/index.php

    It is mainly about MS Operating systems.....

    That looks great Steve. I've a dodgy internet connection at the moment (hopefully getting fixed tomorrow) so I'll sign up there once I'm back up to speed. Thanks for the quick response.

    An 'official' MS site is

    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/
    All advice is offered in good faith only. All my code is tested (unless stated explicitly otherwise) with the latest version of Microsoft Visual Studio (using the supported features of the latest standard) and is offered as examples only - not as production quality. I cannot offer advice regarding any other c/c++ compiler/IDE or incompatibilities with VS. You are ultimately responsible for the effects of your programs and the integrity of the machines they run on. Anything I post, code snippets, advice, etc is licensed as Public Domain https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/ and can be used without reference or acknowledgement. Also note that I only provide advice and guidance via the forums - and not via private messages!

    Thanks 2kaud. It turned out that I'm already registered with the official Microsoft one and I'd totally forgotten!

    Instead of choosing from dozens of forums, try Feedback Hub (Windows 10/11 built-in).
    This is Microsoft's official intake system for Windows bugs. Reports go directly into internal engineering dashboards. It's best for bugs, crashes, UI glitches, Windows Update failures, driver regressions, performance issues.

    Why it matters:
    • Used by Windows engineering teams for telemetry‑linked bug tracking
    • Lets you attach logs, screenshots, and even record steps to reproduce
    • Upvotes help Microsoft prioritize issues

    Press Win + F to open it instantly.
