Windows Troubleshooter

This page is a quick checklist. For interactive help, use the FixPaste Pro homepage and choose Platform → Windows.

1) Gather useful info first

winver
systeminfo
dxdiag

For command-line, open PowerShell as Administrator.

2) Drivers not working (GPU / Wi‑Fi / audio)

• Check Device Manager for warning icons
• Rollback / reinstall driver

# List PnP devices with problems
Get-PnpDevice -PresentOnly | Where-Object { $_.Status -ne "OK" } | Format-Table -AutoSize

# Export driver list
dism /online /get-drivers /format:table

3) Windows Update failing

# Repair component store
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

# Repair system files
sfc /scannow

If updates still fail, grab logs:

Get-WindowsUpdateLog

4) Blue screens / random restarts

Check Event Viewer and minidumps:

# Event Viewer: Windows Logs → System / Application
eventvwr.msc

# Minidumps location
C:\Windows\Minidump

Common causes: bad driver, overheating, unstable PSU, RAM issues.

5) Performance issues

# Task Manager and Resource Monitor
taskmgr
resmon

# Check disk health
wmic diskdrive get status
chkdsk C: /scan
