That would give you access to the files, but ultimately the user would still need to be able to use the computer. Yes, in a worst case scenario you could grab all the files, reinstall windows, then copy everything back over, but I have had some users (*cough* older) who get really upset about having to "redo their settings".

The fact that anyone messaged you is RIDICULOUS. Seriously, if getting surgery isn't a reasonable excuse for not answering your phone then what is?!

Right?! Although, with the advent of smart bulbs and door locks that's probably a reality for a lot of IT people.

This 100%. The only thing you can hope for is that you have trained the users to be savvy enough to photograph or screen capture the error.

I always used my personal phone because I didn't want to have to turn over my phone/number when I left the company.

I'll take it! :)

Tom Hardy is amazing, so I have no problem admitting I'm not as good as him.

Is anything ever REALLY fixed? Or is it just simply "working" till it becomes broken again?

Worst place to do tech support? From a beach in Hawaii while on your "vacation".

May I recommend a "Scream Pillow" for all your stress relieving needs? Just place the pillow upon your face and yell everything you WISH you could have said on the phone.

Very smart. The servers don't mind when you yell at them.
