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?
strangely Network Troubleshooter always helped me when I was out of ideas why the network just… stopped working
tho never said the problem, things 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…
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…
Only Windows can unfuck that which it fucked up on its own.
I believe the troubleshooter also does a WINSock reset as well. I’m not sure, though. I know it definitely disables/enables the adapter.
