Hi How many users use these windows tools before they go on forums and ask for help. There is a wealth of tools in W7 and W8 if you just look for them. You might even be surprised how much better your computer will perform if you use some of these tools on a regular basis!!

There is a ton of information if you just look for it. There's more to maintaining your computer than you realize!!

I have used the trouble shooter and found it leads to a dead end in a lot of cases.
I am not a fan.
I have had more success with Microsoft "FIXIT"
 
Microsoft has problems, but they are working hard to solve them. I'm not perfect. Are you??
When you're the number one OS, you're going to catch a lot of Hell! My verdict is still out on Vista and W8! :):)
Are we having fun @AWS Great forum Boss !Thanks!
Gary!

Other than "Disk Cleanup" I have never used any of them. I have used "Action Center" from time to time and that has been quite helpful.

Never had a use for it.
I only use tools when I have an issue.
Why should I use it???
Why not?? Are you 100% positive your RAM is without errors?? Do you ever check the oil in your vehicles, or do you wait until the oil light comes on??;);)
 
Now I know my RAM is good. And sense I can and I'm bored. I'll use my Toshiba feature to test my HDD.
PS If we had more people posting problems on the forum, I wouldn't get so bored.:):)
I might even do a chkdsk after I get ready for bed. I might even use sea tools to check my HDD!!
I really seem to be in pretty good shape. That could all change in the blink of a eye. That's life!!

I am experienced enough to sense if my computers have a problem and know where to look.
This is not a car. A warning light is there for a purpose the same as popup warnings are.
Don't try and fix something that ain't broke.
You only run tests if you sense a problem, not sit there all day looking for problems.
