“Sorry, there was an error licensing this video” means YouTube could not authorize playback at that moment.

Use Windows Settings first: open System > Storage > Temporary files, review the categories, leave Downloads unchecked unless you have checked its contents, then select Remove files.

Your laptop webcam is usually unavailable because its privacy shutter or camera key is off, Windows camera access is blocked, another app has control, the driver is damaged, or the camera has failed. Open the built-in Camera app to test it, then check the physical cover, permissions, app conflicts, drivers, and hardware detection in that order.
To stop a phone overheating while charging, unplug it immediately if it feels excessively hot, remove the case, and place it on a cool, hard surface with open airflow.

Stop using it and arrange service if overheating returns or the battery looks swollen.
Open your phone’s storage settings and sort the breakdown by category or size. On Android, use Settings > Storage; on iPhone, use Settings > General > iPhone Storage.

First test another device on the same Wi-Fi. If every device is offline, restart the modem and router, checking the modem first and the router second. If only Windows is affected, move closer to the router, reconnect Wi-Fi, restart the PC, and check DNS or network settings. Stop changing Windows settings when other devices also fail; contact your internet provider or network administrator.

To uninstall a Windows program completely, first save its files and close it. Open Settings > Apps > Installed apps, choose the program, and select Uninstall. If it is missing, use Control Panel > Programs and Features. Restart Windows, then check only the program’s own leftover folders or data; do not delete shared system files or registry entries.
A charging icon only confirms that the phone detects a power connection; it does not prove that the battery is receiving enough power. Try a different wall outlet, compatible cable, and adapter, then inspect and safely clean the port. Remove the case, stop demanding apps, cool the phone, restart it, and verify whether the percentage rises after 30 minutes.
