### Unoffical Windows installs | ||
This includes but is not limited to AtlasOS, ReviOS, disabling Windows update, removing the Microsoft store. These are not supported but you can try the below. If they don't work and you have used one of these you won't be able to use Files without reinstalling Windows using the official installer from https://www.microsoft.com/software-download/windows11. | ||

These steps should be followed if the person has knowingly disabled/removed things that can not be done without another program/script or used redistributed Windows installs like AtlasOS provides.
If you meant errors, then I most of the time it will say something like A service wasn't able to be started
or Class not registered
. I can get the error message if you wanted

That would be helpful, ideally, we would list the error as another section and put these steps underneath it.
