   This isn't really new news, but I saw a warning for the 1st time when I used the Compatibility Troubleshooter on Sunday's GOTD game. So far it's just a warning, and *probably* only shows up running Win11. Microsoft plans on starting to make the troubleshooters disappear with the next version of Win11 due this fall. Everything before that, the current version of Win11 and all versions of Win10, will keep what they now call *legacy* troubleshooters. The reasoning behind it is *probably* to avoid security vulnerabilities, since Microsoft seemed to have problems patching the underlying MSDT [Microsoft Support Diagnostic Tool] last year.

   Thanks for sharing this information. It's good to be aware of these changes in Microsoft's support diagnostic tools. While it might not be breaking news, it's essential for users to know how these alterations can affect their systems. The transition to newer versions of Windows often involves phasing out older tools and features for various reasons, including security concerns. It's a reminder for Windows 11 users to stay up-to-date with system changes and be prepared for potential adjustments in troubleshooting processes. Your experience with the Compatibility Troubleshooter serves as a practical example of how these changes can become noticeable during everyday use. As always, keeping your operating system and software updated is a key practice for maintaining a secure and efficient computing environment.
