About The Grumpy Sysadmin
I'm Kevin Coe. I've spent more than 30 years in IT, and I explain Windows in plain English.
The Grumpy Sysadmin isn’t a team or a call center. It’s me. I’ve worked in IT for more than 30 years: servers, networks, storage, security, troubleshooting, and recovery. These days I turn that experience into practical help for everyday Windows and PC users who are tired of bad advice and constant surprises from Microsoft.
Despite the name, I’m not grumpy at you. I’m grumpy at bad technology decisions.
What I Do
It started with my YouTube channel, The Grumpy Sysadmin, where more than 80,000 subscribers come for no-nonsense Windows fixes, security advice, and honest tech breakdowns. This site has the written versions, free checklists, and my recommendations.
If you want the deeper, step-by-step versions, my store sells downloadable PDF guides, checklists, and playbooks. Everything there is a digital download delivered by email, and it’s covered by a 30-day money-back guarantee.
