I had a number of occasions where Windows on my work PC f-ed up. None of the times, the windows "troubleshooting" wizard was anything but a waste of time before calling IT or digging into the problem myself.

The search service on my computer crashes from time to time and the troubleshooter gets it working again without having to reboot (I hate rebooting).
Just been through the fire of having to clone my system to a new SSD and no, startup repair did nothing for me.
had a couple of windows 2000 pro and server recovery saves. haven't thought about it since. hrmmm
Troubleshooter was always able to fix my network issues. (Basically just resetting it)
I think it fixed my MBR once during Win7 days.
Not once as far as the Troubleshooting Wizards go.
