Using Microsoft Fix It Center
In my previous post, I’ve talked about the new Microsoft Fix It Center and showed how to install it in your PC. Here, I’m going to show you how to use Microsoft Fix It Center.
First, you have to run the program. Click Start and type “Microsoft Fix It Center” in the search bar and run the program. When the program is launched, you will see this
In the list of troubleshooters, you just pick one that most resemble your problem and click on the Run button on the right.
In this screenshot I have run the Performance troubleshooter and are asked whether I want the tool to apply fixes automatically or just present them for me so that I can select which ones to apply.
It will now run the diagnostic to detect for problems.
Next, all the detected issues will be listed out. Click Next to continue
It will now show you the solution for the detected issues. Click Next after you had solved the issue.
Now, Microsoft Fix It Center will ask you if the solution has solved the problem. Click Submit to complete the diagnostic process.
You will be then be taken to the Microsoft Fix It Center Online service where you can see a summary of problems and fixes for your machine.

What is Microsoft Fix It Center?
Microsoft has released a beta version of a new tool called Microsoft Fix it Center. This tool provides one single point you can go to in order to run several different troubleshooters to solve the different issues you are having with your computer. Although currently in beta it already provides a multitude of automatic troubleshooters to you. If you are having problems not addressed by the tool, you can report your issue through the tools online center and hopefully Microsoft will follow up on it. The tool looks promising, especially for those of us that falls into the category of being the family and friends it-guy! Just make sure you have this installed on their machines – and you can easily guide them through its use.
