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.
strangely Network Troubleshooter always helped me when I was out of ideas why the network just… stopped working
tho never said the problem, it just got fixed in the meantime while it analyzed n shit and then it reported no issues :P
That one usually is successful by disabling your network adapter, then re-enabling it. Basically…
I believe the troubleshooter also does a WINSock reset as well. I’m not sure, though. I know it definitely disables/enables the adapter.
