From there, you can access repair and recovery options to fix your Windows 10 installation.


Whether you're a Windows newbie or a grizzled veteran, your system will eventually run into problems that aren't easy to diagnose. Before you call tech support, there are plenty of PC diagnostic tools you can try.


As with older versions of the operating system, Windows 10 and 11 have a Performance Monitor. However, unlike the older versions, this is now a standalone PC diagnostic tool. Check out how to open the Performance Monitor if you're not familiar with it.


By default, the Monitor only shows Processor Time, which displays how much of your CPU is being used at any given time. However, you can add more counters such as disk usage, energy used, paging file size, search index size, and more.


The Reliability Monitor is a lesser-known utility that's been around since Windows Vista. You can find it by opening Windows Search and typing "view reliability history." Despite the differing name, doing this will still launch the Reliability Monitor.


Here you'll see a history of your system and a timeline of events and errors that occurred during a given period. The blue line is an estimate (from 1 to 10) of how stable your system is over time. At the bottom, you can see which troublemakers are throwing errors, which you can look into to improve your system stability score.


Whether you're using a Wi-Fi or Ethernet connection, there's a good chance you're going to run into network problems eventually. Fortunately, there are plenty of Windows diagnostics tools that make troubleshooting your internet connection a breeze.


After the analysis, it will recommend a channel setting for you. It's not perfect, especially in crowded apartments and dense cities. However, it can boost your Wi-Fi speed and reliability significantly, so it's worth trying.


You can use it at home to see how many devices are connected to your network (to check if anyone is mooching off your connection) or find the IP address of a specific device (such as your smartphone). It allows you to initiate remote shutdowns as well.


When checking your PC for faults, it's easy to overlook your storage device even though storage drives are one of the most important pieces of hardware to keep healthy. You can buy a new processor, RAM, or GPU, but losing personal files carries a cost you can't cover with cash.


Ever wondered if your hard disk drive or solid-state drive was in good condition? While there are warning signs that your SSD is on the way out, you'll ideally want to identify a failing drive before these issues surface.


WinDirStat scans your data drives and tells you how much space is used up by various folders and files, all displayed in a neat tree-based hierarchy and a detailed graph view. The bigger the file or folder is, the larger the square is on the graph.
