    Error message I received was:  ++"We are sorry, but Lync has run into an error that is preventing it from working correctly.  Lync will need to be closed as a result.  Would you like us to repair now?"

    When I click on "Repair Now", nothing happens.  How do I make Lync work and what exactly does this program do?

    Why does the link from the error go to the community page with numerous others having the same issue with no potential resolution provided.

    What is wrong with microsoft?
