Has Windows startup repair or a troubleshooter ever fixed your issue even once? (midwest.social)

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. That was meant as a statement of I've been using windows for that long and since the beginning of Windows (and when ever they introduced the trouble shooter) it's never worked

    Everybody always forgets about Windows 1.0 through 3.1 .

    I had a 286 machine that came with windows 2. It felt more like a tech demo than something you'd actually use.

    Also there was no auto fixer that I can remember.
