For me I just plow through and hope for the best. My accuracy has improved in general with more experience though.

You are missing a crucial deduction here just like I did when I solved it before .

1) R4C1 can't be a star .If it is a star,R3C1 can't be filled by anything.
2)Following the earlier deduction ,you have R5C2 not being a star.If it's a star,R4C2 can't take any digit 1,2 or 3.
3)Now we have R5C4 as a star as otherwise Rows 4 and 5 can't take a total of 4 stars.

Just a suggestion.Please post bigger images next time so that people find it easy to look where you are stuck : )

By the way,the bottom 3's can't yet be connected(logically).This image was taken from the same stuck puzzle posted earlier in LMI.

Could someone point me in the right direction on Kropki #39 from the WPF GP Round 2? I'm not an expert on this puzzle type, so I'm sure I'm missing some elementary logic here, but I've gotten absolutely nowhere on this.

Encountered this frustratingly irritating Linesweeper variant that plays around with the rules in the Loop PR round.I couldn't complete it during the test (and even later), discarded it in a corner and totally forgot about it until I saw it creeping up in the LMI fun contest again.So I decided to clear up this puzzle once and for all .I continued until this point unsure of whether it is right or wrong.Could someone post the steps until the end?

What is the logic for solving this particular puzzle other than the obvious ones at the lower right and top left and the not so apparent top right ?

Firstly, your bottom left part is wrong. I don't know how you got that.
These are starting steps, which i followed. I hope it helps.

I thought the top right counts as obvious, since there is no other way to satisfy the double 4. Swaroop has the intended start.
