GetHuman: So how would you sum up your experience for GetHuman's Microsoft - Tech Support customer community? We'll censor any IDs, numbers, or codes and any inappropriate words here out of respect to the millions of other customers using this resource.
GetHuman-arnuldro: Arnold
GetHuman: Can you tell the rest of us a bit more from what happened on 11/29/17?
GetHuman-arnuldro: I bought a $*** Dell laptop loaded with Windows ** from a Microsoft store and after two days, for reason I do not know how, the IE stopped working and the prompt asked me to contact Microsoft support. I contacted Microsoft support and talked to an agent named Jed who diagnosed my new laptop as having been infected by a virus and he told me he can only fix it if I pay a subscription fee and will only help me if I pay. I told Jed that the Windows package and the laptop is new, and I asked if he could just point me in the right direction. He told me to wait, but after waiting ** minutes he pretty much hanged up. I called again, this time it is a lady. Same thing, she's argumentative, offering no help not even pointing me into the right direction, would not help at all unless I pay them the subscription fee they told me about. This is customer service at its worst! Microsoft, if you're reading this, change your customer support team!
