Why is there no "troubleshoot hardware & devices" in 1809 update?

I have looked everywhere in settings & control panel, & there is no longer a troubleshooter for hardware & devices. All of the other troubleshoot options are still listed , & there is no "view all." In 1803 I could access it in " update & security" then chose "troubleshoot" & it was the 4th one listed under "find & fix other problems" where "keyboard" is now. Unless Microsoft will come up with a fix, I guess the only solution is to go back to 1803?

Hi,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

Please note that Hardware and Device troubleshooter was removed from Windows 10 starting from the build version 1809. The Hardware & Devices troubleshooter had the lowest daily usage was usually run in tandem with other troubleshooters, therefore it was determined it was no longer needed and specific troubleshooters should be used instead (i.e. Bluetooth, audio, etc.).

Hope it helps.

    Trying to get back to using facial recognition to sign in and troubleshooting hardware & devices was one of the fixes suggested.  Can you provide instruction on how an alternative fix to restore this functionality?
