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.

    Then use it more, because it does work.

      ? Use it more because it “works” even though it’s never worked for me.

      That’s your logic?

      So you are saying the system uses a powerful AI that learns and adapts? That way over time it will start fixing the issues?

      Look at the other comments to see how many people have had no luck with the system. Maybe it works for you but in general it fails.
