Windows 10 troubleshooting stuck. File Explorer Section
Three years have passed since the official release of Windows 10. During this time, Microsoft, having released many minor and major updates, was able to fix most of the errors and known problems in the new system.
The Windows 10 operating system is stable, faster and better than before. However, you may encounter a problem. For example, Windows 10 may not recognize the connected printer.
To help PC users deal with common problems quickly, Windows 10 includes several troubleshooters—more than 15 to be exact—that can help you fix most known problems in a few minutes. You can find troubleshooting tools by going to the app “Settings” → “Update & Security” → “Troubleshooting”.
Starting with Windows 10 Redstone 5 (version 1809), there's a new option that automatically troubleshoots common problems on your PC. The Recommended Troubleshooting feature is enabled by default and will automatically fix known problems, thereby avoiding manual system edits.
Keep your device up and running by automatically applying recommended troubleshooting solutions for known issues
Here's how to turn Automatic troubleshooting on or off in Windows 10.
Note: This feature is only present in Windows 10 Redstone 5 (version 1809) and later.
Step 1: Open the application "Options" by pressing the Win + I key combination and go to the section "Update and Security" → "Troubleshooting".
Step 2: In chapter "Recommended troubleshooting" move the switch slider to position "On" or "Off" And your computer will automatically find and fix known problems and problems.
As you can see in the picture above, you can open the link "View Log" to see if your PC has received any troubleshooting recommendations.

In every system, errors can occur that disrupt the normal flow of internal processes. Most problems are minor, but they can have serious consequences, such as data loss. Therefore, it is very important to be able to prevent the occurrence of any kind of errors on the computer.
Troubleshooting tool and what problems it can solve
In Windows 10 version 1703, the capabilities of System Settings have been significantly increased. In particular, a “Troubleshooting” element was added, which partially duplicates the functionality of the “Control Panel” applet of the same name and can correct some computer errors.
The main areas of the master’s work are as follows:
- sound;
- connection to a local network and the Internet;
- Printer;
- "Windows Update";
- Bluetooth;
- video;
- power problems (the OS does not turn off or the battery does not charge);
- "Windows Store";
- some critical blue screen errors;
- Application compatibility problems.
Troubleshooting Windows 10 Settings
With each subsequent build, developers increasingly change the system interface, giving the “Settings” new capabilities, and thereby gradually abandon the standard “Control Panel”.
To use the Troubleshoot tool:
- Press the Win + I key combination and select Update & Security.
In PC Settings, select Update & Security
- In the menu that opens, in the left column, open the “Troubleshooting” tab.
Go to the "Troubleshooting" tab - Click on the group of interest and click on the “Run the troubleshooter” button that appears.
After selecting an item from the list, click the "Run troubleshooter" button - The Automatic Troubleshooting Wizard will open. Click on the “Next” button several times to start it.
Click Next to start the troubleshooting wizard - Upon completion of the error correction module, you will receive a report: what errors were found and corrected.
At the end of the work, the wizard will issue a report on the problems found
Depending on the OS build and update version, the Troubleshooting functionality in the settings may differ.

Third-party applications for diagnosing and fixing errors
It's no secret that Microsoft is a leader in software development. However, quantity does not mean quality, so most standard utilities have more advanced and convenient analogues. Bug fixes are no exception to the rule. The software market offers many programs to solve various problems with Windows OS.
Microsoft Fix It
Typically, the Fix It tool is not used in Windows 10, since it is already built into the “Settings” of the system. It is this program that is used as the basis for “Troubleshooting” in the “Update and Security” section. Its interface is represented by various categories and Run buttons, which launch the process of finding and fixing errors.
Microsoft Fix It runs in the Windows Troubleshooting Environment FixWin 10
One of the leading programs on the market for eliminating “ten” errors is FixWin 10. Unfortunately, its interface is only in English, but it is very easy to understand. Already on the main page you can see four main directions in which the program works:
- checking for system file errors;
- re-registration of Store applications if they are installed and problems appear in their operation;
- creating a restore point;
- checking and restoring OS system elements.
The Search For More Fixes button launches all four categories.
The FixWin 10 program works in four main areas of troubleshooting in Windows OS 
The FixWin 10 program is comprehensive and suitable for diagnostics in all areas of the Windows OS.

AVZ
The AVZ program does a good job of finding and treating viruses and Trojans on your computer. Its technologies were borrowed by Kaspersky Lab in the Kaspersky Internet Security product. The program also specializes in finding and eliminating various types of spyware. This product is ideal for preventative diagnosis and treatment of a system due to malware infection.

Anvisoft PC PLUS
Anvisoft PC PLUS is more of a system optimizer than a troubleshooter. However, with the help of this tool it is possible to increase system performance in work and games, disable unnecessary services and minimize the impact of those needed on the operation of the OS, as well as fix some minor network errors, shortcuts, registry and much more.
Anvisoft PC PLUS program optimizes your computer and fixes some problems Net Adapter Repair
The main task of the Net Adapter Repair program is to comprehensively search and solve local network, Wi-Fi and Internet connection problems. Working with the utility is very simple: after launching, check the boxes for the categories that you need to check and click the Run All Selected button. Then the program will do everything itself, correcting non-critical errors.
The Net Adapter Repair utility is designed to find and fix network errors Common Error Codes
Various types of errors can occur while running Windows, many of which can be easily fixed if you know how. To choose the appropriate method, just pay attention to the code that appears along with the problem message.
Table: common error codes, their causes and solutions
| Error code | Reason for the error | How to solve the error |

Used by everyone - both experienced PC users and beginners. For any category, the OS has an auxiliary service that allows you to solve problems that arise. While an experienced user can independently figure out this or that issue, a beginner needs help from a computer specialist. In order to help the user find errors in the system and malfunctions in the hardware, the developers came up with a troubleshooting program in Windows 10. Let's take a closer look at it and find out how to use the wizard, in what cases and where it can be found.
Where to find?
The latest operating system update, Fall Creators 1703, has brought some changes. Now the troubleshooting wizard can be launched not only through the control panel, which takes a few minutes of time, but also through the system settings interface.
Both launch options give access to the same tool. This means that the Windows 10 troubleshooting wizards in Control Panel and Settings are no different from each other. Let's take a closer look at how to launch the program in both ways.
Via control panel
First, let’s find out the answer to the question. You can open it in several ways:
- Via search in the Start menu. Just enter the name of the program and it will appear in the search window.
- The second option is through the "Run" window. To do this, hold down the Win+R key combination and enter the control command.
- Via the command line. If one of the above methods does not work, then open the command line (via search or "Run" using the cmd command) and enter the word control.
Next, for ease of searching, you need to switch the view of sections to large or small icons. Then find “Troubleshooting” in the list. On Windows 10, this window provides access to all of the wizard's tools.
Via "Options"
The second option is only available to Windows 10 users:
- right-click on the "Start" icon;
- in the context menu, click "Options";
- then go to the "Update and Security" section;
- Now in the left column select "Troubleshoot".
Ready! Now you know where the Control Panel is in Windows 10 and where the Settings are. Through them you can access the troubleshooting wizard. The interface of these windows looks different, but you will find the same functionality in them, which we will discuss below.
How does diagnostics work?
Before a troubleshooter can help a user fix a problem or problem, it must run a diagnostic test. If you know what you are having problems with, then select the appropriate item in the Windows 10 troubleshooting menu. After launching the tool, a window will appear on the screen searching for the problem. Wait until the process completes to see the possible cause of the problem. If the assistant successfully finds the problem, all the information will appear in the window and ways to solve the problem will be suggested. If the wizard did not detect a problem while scanning the system state, he will ask you to answer several leading questions to narrow down the search. Select one of the options and click "Next". The tool will again scan your computer for problems in the area you specified and display the result. In the event that Windows 10 troubleshooting takes a very long time to find problems, but does not find anything, you will have to turn to specialists for help or solve the problem on your own.
Usually the problem check takes place within 1 minute. If the program does not offer any further action, but only continues to show the “Problem Detection” window with a creeping line, then try restarting it and scanning the system again. Let's consider all the categories by which you can diagnose your computer using standard operating system tools.
Programs
This category addresses issues related to the compatibility of the operating system and installed software (applications, games, etc.). To run diagnostics, click on the "Run programs designed for previous versions of Windows" button. Most of the compatibility problems are associated with using older versions of software on Windows 10. This wizard will help you automatically fix this problem.
Once launched, the program will automatically scan the system within a few seconds. If the problematic software has not been identified, then you will be asked to select one of the installed programs from the list. Next, you can apply the recommended settings to start the program and check its functionality or continue searching for the problem.
Equipment and sound
Here you can find and fix problems with any connected equipment:
- Device setup. The program allows you to fix all errors related to connected devices, their drivers, and so on.
- Using the printer. Corrects all problems in the operation of connected printers, scanners and MFPs.
- Troubleshoot audio recording problems. Will save you from problems with sound recording devices.
- Troubleshoot audio playback.
Network and Internet
In this section, you can diagnose the status of your Internet connection and configure your network environment (access to folders on this and other computers). To start searching and fixing problems, click the "Connect to the Internet" button. In the window that appears, click “Next” to start the operation. After a short diagnostic, the program will ask you to specify the type of problem - a connection failure or lack of access to a certain page. In the first case, the computer will check the ability to access the official Microsoft website.
Clicking the "Access shared files and folders on other computers" button opens the Problem Diagnosis Wizard. As in the previous case, click “Next” on the main window and wait until the search is completed. To clarify, you must enter the path to the folder you need to access.
system and safety
Using this section, you will be able to correct the following points:
- errors that prevent updating the operating system;
- diagnostics and identification of unnecessary files and shortcuts, as well as subsequent removal;
- Finding power problems and optimizing the system when running on battery power; This function will be relevant for users of laptop computers.
Diagnostic problems
Let's figure out what to do if troubleshooting doesn't work properly on Windows 10. The problem may be due to the fact that your copy of the operating system is damaged or infected with viruses. This often happens with pirated versions. Check your computer for malware and clean it.
The second reason is the lack of updates. To ensure that troubleshooting doesn't freeze when starting Windows 10 or during diagnostics, you need to install all the latest operating system updates. You can do it like this:
- open "Settings";
- go to the "Update and Security" tab;
- then click on the “Check for updates” button;
- Install the update if necessary and then restart your computer.
To get help using the Diagnostic Wizard, you must click the Help link in the Troubleshooting window.
Bottom line
Please remember that Microsoft's troubleshooter for operating systems does not always work properly. Often it is not possible to get rid of a malfunction or error in the system using this wizard. However, you can determine the cause and try to optimize your PC using it.
