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.
No, just spent the better part of half a day helping a friend troubleshoot his PC because it kept crashing when trying to game.
BSOD was useless, dug in logs to find the errorcode. Error code was some generic Nvidia driver had an oopsie daisy, all it confirmed was that it was a software issue. Spent next 3 hours finding and reinstalling drivers until finally reinstalling the chipset drivers seems to have resolved it.
