      They probably don’t even read what the message has to say. When I’ve helped some family members with their computer I’ve seen something important pop up and they just closed it immediately. I asked what did that message say and they said “I don’t know I just closed it.” :/

        With modern windows error messages being absolutely useless “something went wrong :/” tier messages I can’t even blame them that much anymore.

        That’s usage for a non tech literate user

        They will force every block out of the way of what they want to do, and if it stops working, they call someone.

      Mac and Linux users do this too. If they didn’t then systems administration wouldn’t be a career path.
