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.
You took it off but now I need it. only USB 3 here so not backward compatible. Restore it. you only need it when you need it. Crazy!!! Now what...writing this??? Time-consuming etc
Where is the fax troubleshooter?
Seriously @Naresh_K / A.K.A. Microsoft?!?!
How on earth am I suppose to fix my problem?!
Can you guys notice that this problem has been addressed on the 2nd of January this year, and today there is STILL NO FIX TO THE PROBLEM!?!?!? UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!
First of all, I HATE YOUR UPDATES, MICROSOFT!! Every freaking time I get a new update, it destroys my network settings! Drives me crazy!
Second of all, one of my computers, doesn't recognize my USB PORTS! I am trying to fix my problem through Device Manager -> Universal Serial Bus Controllers -> USB COMPOSITE DEVICE (with the exclamation mark) -> right-click on it -> Update driver (all good, no new driver, still doesn't work!!!!) -> Uninstall driver -> Scan for new hardware.... AND MAGIC!!! IT WORKS!! BUT WAIT!! If I reboot my computer or shut it down, I am back to phase 0 AGAIN!!!! What am I suppose to do, when this USB is in fact, MY FREAKING KEYBOARD!!!!???? Every morning I have to leave on my desk, another keyboard (which I hate, but is recognized by my computer), so I can enter may password and then start the same process listed above, in DEVICE MANAGER.
CAN ANYONE HELP ME with this matter??
Thank you in advance!
