Definitely, it is the first thing I always run. It is really great at checking all the "obvious" user errors like having no internet connection or having a full disk drive.
I can run it and go do something else.
It is also great to explain how to use it over a phone to people who aren't tech savvy.
Afterwards it gives you extra information about the issue if you click on details.
Ive never seen it solve anything and Ive certainly never heard of someone non-savvy being successful with it, even when Ive prompted them to do it (I have them do it because it gives them a few min to calm down)
Can you give one example of it giving correct and relevant information there? I have never seen it once.
This is downright genius
The sound troubleshooter will fix the issue sometimes if it is a driver or weird input issue.
