Explain a Technical Error Message in Plain Words and List Safe Next Steps
Understand an error and decide what to try first.
The Open buttons send the prompt text as currently shown below to that site only when you click. Fill in the placeholders first.
Explain this error to me in plain language. The exact error text or a description: [ERROR_TEXT]. What I was doing when it appeared: [ACTIVITY]. The device, software and version: [DEVICE_AND_SOFTWARE]. What I have already tried: [ALREADY_TRIED]. Give a short explanation of what the message most likely means and what it does not tell us. List three to five likely causes in order of probability and the safe checks for each, from simplest to most complex, with the expected result of each check. Mark steps that change settings or delete data and tell me to back up first. Suggest what information to collect for the vendor's support (version, time, steps) and a message to send them. Include a note on when to stop and ask a professional. Do not ask me to run commands I do not understand or to disable security tools. Say if the message is ambiguous rather than guessing.
