Anyone have some thoughts or input/knowledge of coming Win11 Post 23H2 replacements or alternatives ?

 

Microsoft is retiring the Windows legacy inbox Troubleshooters, such as Keyboard troubleshooter and Speech troubleshooter, and the Microsoft Support Diagnostic Tool (MSDT) that runs them. The legacy inbox Windows Troubleshooters are built-in tools that, when launched, automatically diagnose and correct common problems for a variety of Windows features. MSDT Troubleshooters will be deprecated in the next Windows 11 release, with the date to be determined.

Some will be redirected to the Get Help platform.

You're most welcome.


It seems that this decision was due - at least in part - to longstanding security vulnerabilities in these troubleshooters.

Or so they say.

Still, for end users, it will be a loss, unless the "Get Help" app will fill the void.

Get Help is one thing that I have disabled.   Now have to go back and figure that one out.

 

I hold no hopes on this as it is amongst a number of tools they do away with.

 

Keeps me thinking of every MS help or reason URL that never works.
