Troubleshooters never worked for me as well. It's hard NOT to try a troubleshooter, because it's suggested by Windows on every occasion, but after I've discovered that "troubleshooting" in Windows terms means "first try restarting the service, then try restarting the computer, then try reinstalling windows" then indeed I've stopped trying them completely.

I mean, if the user doesn't change system settings at all and uses external drives for their cat pictures then reinstalling the system isn't such a bad advice. The problem is that if someone uses Linux, then this person isn't satisfied with this style of system usage.
