Microsoft Fix It is an official utility from the Windows developer, created to solve more than 300 known problems with operating systems. The utility monitors the operation of the PC and offers to correct problems that arise during its process. A tool has been developed for older operating systems - XP (32 bit only) and Vista (including 64 bit). It is not recommended to run Fix It in the following operating systems:

• Windows 7;
• Windows 8.1;
• Windows 10

On newer operating systems, you should use the Troubleshoot applet or download the FixWin for Windows 10 utility (both tools offer a more extensive knowledge base to take into account changes in newer operating systems).

Application tasks

The utility was created to monitor changes in the system that occur after updating it or changes caused by installing software. The service operates in the background and collects data on the operation of the OS, third-party programs, drivers, hardware, and records errors and failures in the system log. If it is possible to solve a problem or prevent a failure in the future, Fix It will offer a solution or a variety of them. You can download the diagnostic tool for free from our website.

Over the years, Microsoft has collected a huge database of errors, causes of failures and sources of malfunctioning of its own operating systems and applications. All the experience of the past years, accumulated through error reports (which XP users so disliked), was used to create Fix It for the computer.

Functionality

The application is able to independently recognize and solve about three hundred different problems in the operation of the operating system. The utility can eliminate the causes of various errors and failures that are most likely to cause a failure. Upon completion of the work, Fix It will create a detailed report on the work done, installed software components and laptop hardware. The program toolkit consists of several sections.

1. Desktop functions, problems with launching applications and executing files.
2. Problems with games, videos, audio recording and playback.
3. Errors when connecting to the network/Internet.
4. Installing/uninstalling software and drivers.
5. Reduced system performance.
6. Security and Accounts.
7. Scan, fax, share.

It won't run on Windows 10, apparently the program is no longer supported.

Before using the utility, be sure to obtain a system rollback point - the program itself does not do this.

A large number of Windows users who have managed to discover problems with their computer should know where to go for help in this case. Microsoft's Fix it Solution Center is home to a variety of tools to help you resolve your most critical PC performance, security, and stability issues. Here the user will be able to find an accurate description of various faults.

To fix the problem, you will need to make several mouse clicks. This service can only be used from a computer connected to the Internet. In addition, the developers took into account the interests of “offline” users and presented a software product called Microsoft Fix it Portable. This solution exactly duplicates the functionality of a special “solution center”. In this case, the user does not even need to connect to the Internet.

Once launched, the Fix it Portable application will allow you to determine the nature of the problem that has arisen. The list of options includes “connecting to the Internet,” “getting rid of problems related to performance, errors or crashes.” In addition, it takes into account “the elimination of problematic issues related to security, high levels of privacy and user accounts.” Other categories are also taken into account.

When the user identifies a problem area in Fix it Portable, useful information will appear in the list of possible solutions. For example, if you select the “Installing and updating software and equipment” group, the application finds problems in the operation of various devices, which include printers or USB devices. In addition, users will be able to deal with the situation in which the connected type of equipment will not be detected by the system or will function with errors.

If there is no suitable solution in the proposed list, then to perform a suitable operation you only have to click on a specific item. The utility will immediately begin executing the command and, with a high degree of probability, will have to eliminate the malfunction that has appeared.

It must also be said that the proposed product, like all others, contains shortcomings. The most noticeable drawback can be considered the huge size of the downloaded files and support for 26 tools that allow you to solve various problems, in only 40 megabytes.

The interface of this software product cannot be described as extremely friendly. A user who sees a suitable method for solving their problem in the Fix it Portable window will most likely want to use the “Run” button located on the right side of the description. But the developers believe that in this case it will be necessary to check the version of the file being used. Only if necessary will it be possible to download a more recent release.

Company Microsoft offers a new utility that can help you determine the reasons for slow performance Windows 7 and get rid of them.

The utility is compact in size and can work both without user intervention and under his strict guidance. Thus, special knowledge from the end user is not required to use this program.

This short overview (with pictures) will give you an idea of ​​the program.

Step 1: License Agreement

So, after you download and run the program, the first thing you will see (as always) is the license agreement.

Without hesitation, click “Accept” and proceed to the next step.

Step 2 - selecting the program operating mode.

The program provides two operating modes:

• automatic mode (Identify the problem and install fixes)
• manual mode (Find problems and offer to select fixes to install)

It all depends on you.

By selecting the first item, the program will automatically determine what is “interfering” with the normal operation of the system and try to fix the problem (use this option if you do not have the necessary knowledge).

By selecting the second option, the program will automatically determine what is “interfering” with the normal operation of the system, but will not fix the problem, but will wait for action from you.

I chose manual mode and moved on to step 3.

Step 3. Result of system analysis.

So, the system has been scanned and we see the result of this scan.

As you can see, there are two problems found on my computer: incorrect visual effects settings and too many applications running along with the operating system.

Step 4: Troubleshooting.

Actually, the utility suggests checking the boxes next to those applications that I do not need when starting the system.

The exact same window will appear if you click the “Next” button, where it will be written how to fix the problem with visual effects.

If more problems are discovered on your computer, there will be more similar windows (each window solves one type of problem).

Step 5. Finish working with the utility.

I decided not to make any changes to the system, because everything suits me anyway, and as a result I received this report that there were unresolved problems:

If changes are made to the system, there will be a slightly different report, with congratulations that the system has been sped up and errors have been eliminated.
