What was causing the problem, presented in the question http://askubuntu.com/q/418957/44293https://askubuntu.com/q/418957/44293, only came into light when the question was answered. Before that it was unknown and most probably would have remained opened.
So, how is it that a question's on-topicness gets decided by the answer?
Plus closing that question is stopping other solutions from coming in that could in fact provide a fix to the problem without getting into Windows.
