The Microsoft support forums are on a whole level of their own, when it comes to being useless.
sfc /scannow
and the troubleshooting button in the settings do fuck all, and compared to the usual systemd journal, the event log rarely gives you any useful information whatsoeverI have never had ms troubleshoot button or autofix button ever do anything but return “no problems found”. And yes, I’ve also tried it in every one of those 20 control panels.
Sometimes it makes a network connection work temporarily.
Actually I had an issue where trying to sign into my samba share caused explorer.exe to crash constantly, running
sfc /scannow
fixed it surprisingly. Glad that’s on my “these programs only work on Windows” system.
