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, but you have to think that if they had an automated fix for a problem, they’d probably run it in the background before you even realised you had a problem.
Like if I have an network issue, they’d probably retry connecting immediately, rather than waiting for me to hit a Connect button like some caveman with a 56k dialup modem.
Like just cloning a drive and swapping your boot device, internally it’s probably freaking the fuck out about why it’s on NVME2 instead of SATA5 all of a sudden, but it just gets on with it.
