Help Desk Geek has been a trusted destination for troubleshooting guides, Windows and Office tutorials, and practical how-to articles since 2009. What started as a companion to Online Tech Tips focused on IT support topics has grown into a library of thousands of articles read by millions of people around the world.
We cover everything from Windows troubleshooting and Linux to Microsoft Office, computer hardware, networking, and security. Every article is written to be clear, accurate, and actionable — so you can diagnose the problem, fix what’s broken, and get back to your day.
Who’s Behind Help Desk Geek
Help Desk Geek was founded by Aseem Kishore, a computer scientist and tech writer who created the site to share practical IT support solutions. What began as a companion to Online Tech Tips quickly grew into its own dedicated resource for troubleshooting and technical guides.
Today, Aseem runs AK Internet Consulting, the parent company behind Help Desk Geek and four sister publications: Online Tech Tips, The Back Room Tech, Switching to Mac, and Xbox Advisor. Together, these sites reach over 7 million monthly pageviews.
With a B.S. in Computer Science from Emory University, a Cybersecurity degree, and over 15 years of experience building and operating tech websites, Aseem brings deep technical knowledge paired with a commitment to making technology accessible to everyone.
The AKIC Network
The AK Internet Consulting (AKIC) media network was created in 2007. Since then, we have published thousands of articles and enjoyed hundreds of millions of visitors. AKIC is independently owned and operated by its founder.
