Here’s a pro tip: find an old USB device. A printer from 2008. A scanner that weighs as much as a small dog. Plug it in. Windows will have a little existential crisis trying to find a driver.
When the pop-up says, “Searching for drivers…” just nod and walk away. That’s the freeze seed. It’s planted. In about thirty seconds, your screen will become a Jackson Pollock painting of error messages and frozen pixels.
Joke break: Why did the computer freeze? Because it saw the taskbar and had a panic attack. (I’ll show myself out.)
