Version 2.53: Improved: Analyser definitions updated. Intel, 64-bit processor; OS X 10.10.
To fix various problems with the OS, Windows 10 comes with a number of built-in troubleshooters. Sometimes they are really useful and can resolve the issue quickly.
Starting with Windows 10 build 15019, Microsoft has added all the available troubleshooters to the Settings app. The link from the classic Control Panel also opens the new Settings page. Here is how they can be used.
To run a troubleshooter in Windows 10, you can use a new page in the Settings app. You can navigate there by the following path
Settings Update & security Troubleshoot
Here is how the page looks.
It includes the following troubleshooters:
- Internet connections
- Playing Audio
- Printer
- Windows Update
- Blue Screen
- Bluetooth
- Hardware and Devices
- HomeGroup
- Incoming Connections
- Keyboard
- Network Adapter
- Power
- Program Compatibility Troubleshooter
- Recording Audio
- Search and Indexing
- Shared Folders
- Speech
- Video Playback
- Windows Store Apps
Click on a troubleshooter you need. It will appear on the screen.
Follow the instructions provided in the troubleshooter wizard.
This should help you to resolve the problems related to the troubleshooter you opened.
These troubleshooters are not a new feature of Windows 10 Creators Update. They are available in previous Windows 10 builds inside the classic Control Panel. The only new feature is the ability to access them through the Settings app. This will be appreciated by touch screen device owners.
If you are running a Windows 10 build without the Troubleshoot page under Update & recovery, you can run a troubleshooter using the classic Control Panel. Here is how.
- Open Control Panel.
- Go to Control PanelSystem and Security.
- Click the link 'Troubleshoot common computer problems' under Security and Maintenance. See the following screenshot:
- Pick a troubleshooting category.
- Now, run a troubleshooter which fits the problem you are facing.
- Follow the wizard's instructions.
That's it.

Documentation for FastTasks 2
(last revised: Oct 31, 2014)
Please note we're in the process of updating the documentation for v1.5 and it is not yet complete. In the meantime, please email us if you have specific questions.
Help on SuperSearch feature can be found here.
Item 1: Firewall
If the OS X Firewall is ‘On', the menu shows a green ‘traffic light'. If it is off, no light is shown.
You can toggle the Firewall on and off by clicking the menu item.
Note that the toggle will fail if you have not given FastTasks 2 permission to use Accessibility features in 'System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy' panel.
Item 2: Invisible Files
If the Finder is currently displaying invisible files (these are files whose name either begins with a period . or whose chflags is set to ‘hidden'), the menu item shows a green ‘traffic light'.
If invisible files are not displayed in Finder, no light is shown.
You can toggle whether Finder displays invisible files by clicking the menu item.
Clicking the menu item will cause the Finder to restart.
Item 3: User Library
If the User domain Library is currently set to ‘visible' in Finder, the menu item will show a green ‘traffic light'. Otherwise, no light is shown.
You can toggle the user domain Library's visibility in Finder by clicking the menu item.
Clicking the menu item will cause the Finder to restart.
Item 4: Analyser…
The Analyser module is detailed here.
Item 5: Fan Speed…
All items that end with an ellipsis, indicate that a further dialogue will appear before any action occurs.
In the case of Fan Speed, you will be presented with a request from OS X to authenticate the action with your password.
After a short delay, you should see a Notification in the top right corner indicating the current fan speed.
If the notification does not appear, check Notification Center in 'System Preferences' and ensure that ‘banners' are allowed for FastTasks 2.

Clicking this item results in a HUD display showing your router, local network, and internet IP addresses. There is a short delay indicated by the message 'working…' while FastTasks 2 awaits a response from an internet server to deliver your external IP Address.

Using ‘Purge' could actually result in slowing down your machine, so only use this option if you have reason to believe that some system or process is not correctly releasing memory (i.e., in the case of severe memory leaks).
