The infamous 'Run sfc /scannow' answer comes to mind. It never fixed the issue asked

It actually fixed an issue for me one time! When I did tech support sometimes I would run sfc /scannow just to buy time while researching the actual issue and was genuinely surprised when it worked.
Same deal with the “reset PRAM” on Macs suggested for all sorts of problems it has nothing to do with.
