A Guide to Every Troubleshooter in Windows 11
Troubleshooters are built-in utilities in Windows which assist with diagnosing and resolving system issues. Often, they can be a last resort when all other methods fail to solve our problem. Windows 10 users have access to many troubleshooters; if you’ve been using them for years, you can’t deny their usefulness.
Microsoft has carried over most of the troubleshooters from Windows 10 to Windows 11, discontinued some, and added a new Camera troubleshooter. In this article, we will go over all Windows 11 troubleshooters.
1. Internet Connections
The first troubleshooter aims to diagnose and solve any connection issues Windows users encounter with the internet. When you havetrouble connecting to the internet, using the internet, or simply experiencing an unstable connection, the Internet Connections troubleshooter can help.
2. Playing Audio
The Playing Audio troubleshooter comes to our aid when dealing with sound issues. This troubleshooter can help you resolve various problems, including audio devices not connecting correctly, apps muting, audio quality degrading, or simply audio stutters, breaks, or buzzes.
3. Printer
Using the Printer troubleshooter, it’s possible to diagnose and fix all printer-related problems. The Printer troubleshooter should be run first when encountering printer-related errors, remote connectivity issues, and inability to access the printer even when connected.
4. Windows Update
Regular Windows updates keep our systems up to date, and you should rarely have any difficulties updating your operating system. However, if you encounter an issue when updating, the manual update option isn’t available anymore, or similar problems, Windows has a Windows Update troubleshooter you can use to resolve the issue.
5. Bluetooth
Bluetooth troubleshooter is available to assist you with Bluetooth connectivity issues. When you encounter problems connecting Bluetooth devices, pairing your devices with your computer, or accessing Bluetooth on your PC, a Bluetooth troubleshooter will be able to diagnose and fix the issue for you.
Windows 11 includes a Camera troubleshooter that wasn’t available in its earlier versions. Its primary purpose is to run an automatic scan to diagnose and fix issues with your device’s camera or webcam. When your camera doesn’t work in specific apps, or the problem persists throughout your operating system, the Camera troubleshooter will help you resolve the issue.
7. Incoming Connections
Using the Incoming Connections troubleshooter, you can resolve problems with incoming computer connections and Windows Firewall. If you encounter issues when establishing the remote connection with your computer, the Windows Firewall blocks the incoming connections, or you see failed connection errors, Incoming Connections troubleshooter can help you get over the problem.
8. Keyboard
While using the Keyboard troubleshooter will effectively resolve issues with wired keyboard connections, it’s also helpful when used in conjunction with other troubleshooters to fix possible problems with wireless keyboards. Therefore, regardless of what the problem with your keyboard is, you should refer to this troubleshooter to resolve it.
9. Network Adapter
The Network Adapter troubleshooter for Windows is designed to resolve network adapter connectivity problems. Whether your network adapter has disappeared, Wi-Fi is no longer available, or you are experiencing a network connection error on your Windows device, you can use the Network Adapter troubleshooter.
If you notice your device’s battery draining faster than usual or taking longer than expected to charge fully, you should use the Power troubleshooter to adjust the power plan settings automatically. The Power troubleshooter will assist you in optimizing the relevant settings, such as the display, timeout, and sleep settings, or restore them to the defaults tohelp your battery last longer.
