Yeah, basically that. I’m back at work in Windows land on a Monday morning, and pondering what sadist at Microsoft included these features. It’s not hyperbole to say that the startup repair, and the troubleshooters in settings, have never fixed an issue I’ve encountered with Windows. Not even once. Is this typical?
ETA: I’ve learned from reading the responses that the Windows troubleshooters primarily look for missing or broken drivers, and sometimes fix things just by restarting a service, so they’re useful if you have troublesome hardware.
I have tried this a few times actually but only on Windows 8 of all systems!
I don’t remember the problem, but it actually found the problem and fixed it all by itself!
I remember I even liked Windows 8 after that because I thought this would finally be a turning point!
It didn’t.
