# EmuDesk's first-line fix sequence — what to try before any other troubleshooting

Most CODM / PUBG / TAC support questions get the same first-line answer from mods regardless of the specific symptom: "Did you try Restore DB? Apply FPS? Smart Tool launch instead of direct? Defender disable? Hyper-V toggle?" — there's a canonical "before anything else" sequence that resolves ~80% of issues.

This guide consolidates that sequence so users can self-serve before posting in Discord and waiting for mod responses (which can take hours during peak times).
