Do any of the Windows automatic repair features ever work?

Success rate has to be abysmal, right?


Win10 laptop shite the bed. I've been away from Windows for so long that I have no idea what to do other than wipe and reinstall (will probably put Linux on it). Disk checks out fine.

Just install any flavor of Linux you like and quit torturing yourself.

The automatic repair is garbage, I seriously believe it's just a BSOD with a different screen on top and not actually doing anything.

Wipe/reinstall fixes just about everything and is much less of a pain than trying to google for hours on end.

I've used one before that reset WiFi adapter and it worked. That's probably my only success story.

I've had system restore work many times.

The troubleshooting repair tools. Nope. I think 1 time out of a zillion the sound repair tool actually solved the problem. I think that is the one time a softy repair tool worked.

A long long time ago we'd use for disabling and reenabling NICs and such, but now the GPOs don't allow the end users to run them.
