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.

    yeah, but if the troubleshooter does that it’s somehow works, if I do each step manually what the troubleshooter does, it never works.

    there’s some black magic involved…

    like the way how unresponding apps suddenly come back to life if I open Task Manager…
