Golden rules

1
Don’t guess.
Collect evidence before making changes.
2
Don’t reboot blindly.
A reboot can hide the evidence you need.
3
Don’t kill unknown processes blindly.
Identify the process, file, publisher, service and context.
4
Change one thing at a time.
Verify the result and document what changed.
