"Get help with this"
The real joke.
I had a similar error with a different application. Clicking "Get help with this" just opened the Documents folder in Explorer.
Did it help?
I'd guess the dialog was written by an AI that was never told to go implement the help function, but I know that the automated help or button to find help online rarely worked before AIs were capable of doing much of anything with code. Though odds are the broken non-AI help buttons were replaced with broken AI help buttons that were trained using the original broken code.
It's always a link to a microsoft support page that lists one question some guy had three years ago with 5000 "I also have this problem" checkmarks and a single answer from an unpaid MS mod that basically tells you to restart your computer and then marks the question answered and permanently closed.
