For example, it can restore critical services settings, make system changes on your behalf to match the hardware configuration, or adjust settings to help keep the computer running smoothly.
The Troubleshoot feature can also suggest fixes for problems that are not critical to operating Windows 11, but they may still impact the experience. An example would be a recommendation to disable an app or feature that is not working as intended until a fix is released through Windows Update.
