Why is so many people having problems with Microsoft and PSI?

Today I attempted to take my PSI exam, with a live proctor. I downloaded Chrome, tested my browser with a system check all for it to not work.

I logged in 30 mins prior to taking my test not knowing that I would have to download an app to my computer, once I received this error message the first time I contacted PSI technical support, who could not help me. We sat on the phone for 1 hour and I still received an error message stating “this fine does not have an app associated with it for performing this action. Please install an app or, if one is already installed, create an association in the Default Apps Setting page.”

What does that even mean? I’ve waiting 2 months to take this test now I have to wait to contact PSI again to reschedule, I hope that they excuse this absence since it’s clearly not my fault, now I may God forbids have to wait longer to take my exam at a testing center which my be 2 hours away from where I live.

Can someone help me understand what to do in this situation.

Thank you signed,

An angry future esthetician.
