    The opening post was unclear.

    What is the problem that you want to troubleshoot?

    There are approximately three to four years of full support for Windows 10.

    The EOL is October 2025.

    Open administrative command prompt and type or copy and paste:

    sfc /scannow
    dism /online /cleanup-image /scanhealth
    dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
    chkdsk /scan
    msdt.exe -id WindowsUpdateDiagnostic

    I just want my computer to WORK

    End of support does not mean that you computer won't work anymore.
    For example, many peope still use Windows XP, while its support ended in 2014...
