| Nov 13, 2022 at 6:24 | comment | added | Ramhound | I lost track of the number of questions that are simply unanswerable since they don't contain the information necessary to answer them. If you don't agree with a vote closure, vote to reopen the question, after you improve the question of course. | |

| Nov 10, 2022 at 17:38 | comment | added | NotTheDr01ds | @DavidPostill Since Ramhound VTC'd already as "Needs details", it's not possible to change it to the duplicate. Can you or another mod make the adjustment directly? | |
| Nov 10, 2022 at 13:14 | comment | added | DavidPostill Mod | reopened as ramhound has found a potential duplicate | |
| Nov 10, 2022 at 13:12 | comment | added | NotTheDr01ds | @Ramhound And on that, I know we disagree. "4" can be the answer to "What is 2 + 2?", or "What is 2 * 2?" (or hundreds of other questions), but that does not make those question duplicates of each other. | |
| Nov 10, 2022 at 13:10 | comment | added | Ramhound | But the new question is vague, had they provided a screenshot, I probably would have identified it was a possible duplicate. Question duplicates are about the question’s answers not the question body (or their titles). (As a gold tag in Windows 10 I could have flagged it as a duplicate despite it itself being closed). But it’s not in a state where I would vote to reopen currently. I might even specifically answer the question, but again, not in a state where I personally would vote to reopen. | |

Update duplicate possibility
|
| Nov 10, 2022 at 13:04 | comment | added | NotTheDr01ds | @Ramhound Now that one I could see being a duplicate for this one, based on the title alone. And in that case, because the question body asked about Python, yes, I can see it being a duplicate of the other Python question. | |
| Nov 10, 2022 at 13:01 | comment | added | Ramhound | I have closed a question that literally asked about the 0-byte files as a duplicate of that question before here and nobody has voted to reopen it after 3 years. | |
| Nov 10, 2022 at 12:58 | comment | added | NotTheDr01ds | @Ramhound Eh, I don't see it. There is nothing in that proposed duplicate question that talks about either that particular directory or 0-byte files. There are other questions here about specific App Execution Aliases and their behavior, but this particular question doesn't appear to be a duplicate of any that I could find. | |
| Nov 10, 2022 at 12:56 | comment | added | Ramhound | If it was to be reopened I would just immediately flag it as a duplicate of this question. I disagree had there been a screenshot of the files I would have identified it as being the application alias folder, I know a lot, but not always immediately. | |

@Ramhound As mentioned above, there is simply no need to even list a single .exe for the question to be clear and answered.

| Nov 10, 2022 at 12:53 | comment | added | Ramhound | The user failed to even list the name of one of the executables, that was the sole reason, I voted to closed. As the reason I didn’t submit a complaint asking for that information, that’s because of how toxic new users, often are to feedback. The author can easily edit their question to get it reopened | |
