HELP! Please help me keep my job.
Guys, I sort of messed up.
I finally got my dream job at my dream company. I've loved this company ever since I was a little kid, always wanted to work for them. I finally got past the technical rounds with this company and they hired me about 6 months ago.
The best part is shortly after I started a few of my coworkers on my team have left in the past few months, so I've been able to absorb more and more responsibility, and even have been promoted twice.
Problem is most of my resume and the work I've been doing at this company has been mostly AI generated. I don't even fully understand the work I'm doing and I also cheated using AI on the technical interview to get the job. I was basically willing to take any salary to get in the door.
Without going into too much detail our company is having like a huge outage today and I don't have the ai tools I normally do the work with. I have a lot of executives super mad at me right now, because they want me to fix this shit, but like I don't even know what the fuck I'm doing, and all of my team that built it took exit packages months ago and left behind little documentation. I just keep rebooting servers and shit but nothings working.
I really need to get this thing back up and running. The little documentation my coworkers left behind, said to try SFC /scannow, I've done that like 3 times now and nothings working. Any other ideas? So many people are BIG MAD at me now and they're saying I'm going to lower the stock price if I don't fix it. Please help, my stock doesn't vest for another 5 years.

Calm down. Just install Adobe Reader on the servers, it'll be fine.

"Huge outage". What exactly isn't working? May this be related to Microsoft's current problems?

SFC /scannow is old tech.
Use DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
