Edit: I can’t believe I have to add this, but this is a joke and is not real. 🤦‍♂️

Is this real or a joke? Because honestly I’d believe it.

    It's a joke. Their real method nowadays is just asking AI to generate bug free code and then using it without any validation

    You fool! You have to ask the LLM for bug free secure code, or it will be riddled with security vulnerabilities!

    Did you tell it to not make any mistakes, and double check its work, and write valid, comprehensive integration tests and stand up a development environment, and make a team of QA agents to verify that the development environment is running correctly?

    Not doing that is a recipe for disaster. Oh, and tell it to make backups.

    It's a joke, but the fact is that the diagnose button only searches event logs and windows system logs for errors against only a small dictionary of problems.

    This is exactly why Microsoft has been playing with a locally installed nano AI driven fix it utility for future updates: the current one sucks.

    To be fair it'll also reset adapters/devices by disabling and reenabling them, which can help with basic issues.

    Ngl in the last 15 years I have unfortunately been using windows the troubleshooting function never worked, not even once. And it's not like I didn't have issues, there were plenty; plenty stupid ones as well.

    back in the day before troubleshoot actually did anything automatic and applied the most basic of solutions, it used to open the help file and if there was nothing in there, you usually were referred to the Microsoft help page
