RESCUECOM created the list of computer issues from customer calls and the total number of times RESCUECOM received calls for that particular issue.
The top 10 issues in the 2016 Computer Repair Report are as follows:
- Windows App and Windows O.S. Trouble (61.5 percent)
- Poor Computer Performance/Slow PC (9.5 percent)
- Printer Issues (6.2 percent)
- Viruses/Spyware/Malware/Pop-Ups (6.0 percent)
- Hardware Trouble (5.7 percent)
- Email Issues (4.9 percent)
- Internet/Network/Wi-Fi Connection (2.6 percent)
- Data Recovery/Movement (1.2 percent)
- Mac App Difficulty (1.2 percent)
- Failure to Boot/Blue or Blank Screen (0.7 percent)
The data reflects a shift from previous reports, in which issues with viruses and spyware dominated the calls. RESCUECOM noted that increases in sluggish computer performance "could be problems with failures to keep software, operating systems, and apps up to date."
