    How to Add or Remove Troubleshooters Toolbar on Taskbar in Windows 10


    If something isn't working in Windows 10, running a troubleshooter might help. Troubleshooters can find and fix many common problems for you.

    Having all troubleshooters available from a toolbar on the taskbar can make troubleshooting easier as needed.

    This tutorial will show you how to add or remove a Troubleshooters toolbar on the taskbar for your account in Windows 10.

    OPTION ONE

    To Add Troubleshooters Toolbar to Taskbar in Windows 10


    1 Click/tap on the download button below to download the ZIP file below.

    Troubleshooters_toolbar.zip

    Download

    2 Save the Troubleshooters_toolbar.zip file to your desktop.

    3 Unblock the Troubleshooters_toolbar.zip file on your desktop.

    4 Open the Troubleshooters_toolbar.zip file, and drag and drop the Troubleshooters folder from the ZIP to your desktop.

    5 Move the extracted Troubleshooters folder to where you want to keep it saved at.

    The Troubleshooters folder only contains shortcuts, so it's safe to delete any items in it you do not want.

    You can also rename this folder if wanted before adding it as a toolbar at step 7.


    If you like, you can also Pin to taskbar and/or Pin to Start this Troubleshooters folder.


    6 You can now delete the Troubleshooters_toolbar.zip file on your desktop if you like.

    7 Right click or press and hold on an empty space on the taskbar on your main display, click/tap on Toolbars, and click/tap on New toolbar. (see screenshot below)

    I hope this helps!

    Hello @Brink,

    Are these not used anymore on some versions? . . .

    Code:
    C:\Windows\system32\msdt.exe -id AeroDiagnostic
C:\Windows\system32\msdt.exe -id HomeGroupDiagnostic
C:\Windows\system32\msdt.exe -id PerformanceDiagnostic

    Do you think it would be best if C:\Windows\ was changed to %WinDir%\. This way, it would not matter if the OS was installed on a drive OTHER than C:\.

    Yeah, the features for those troubleshooters have been removed in Windows 10.

    It shouldn't matter about OS path, since the Windows drive should always show as the "C" drive from within Windows 10.
