    I send the request and list the troubleshooting steps I have tried. Mostly so that they know it’s not frivolous but also to avoid duplicate work.

    But so often those stupid steps work. Turn it off and back on. Uninstall and reinstall.

      If you want them to really like you you’ve got to list the steps you’ve already attempted and screenshot any error messages you get.

      Don’t just say you got an error message, actually tell us what it was.

      The number of times I get to tickets which claim up and down that there is some major fault, only for the error message to turn out to be that they didn’t enter the correct password cannot be counted.
