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.
But they could just put the actual event on the huge fucking screen instead of a worthless message with a frowny face. Or if not a page with instructions to access the event viewer so that inexperienced users know where to begin. Literally anything would be better than the current screen.
