The AI fixed the driver problem on my USB drive

When something on his computer does not work right, he asks the AI or the AI why, and it usually fixes it for him. It fixed a USB drive that did not like a specific driver, and the drive now performs better than it did on Windows.

How it works

  1. Asks the agent why the drive is not working
  2. The agent fixes the driver problem
  3. The drive performs better than on Windows

Why it’s worth knowing

The agent did not just explain the driver problem. It fixed the drive itself, and the drive now runs better than it did on Windows.
