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.

Thanks,
It inspired me a lot...
I'll just asked my boss to remove the fire escape ladders from the office wall.
They 've been never used.
Fine regards,

so stupid to pull this troubleshooter out, there is no way to troubleshoot usb hard drive?!!?!
I'm horrified that Microsoft did this. I have the same problem with USB flash drives. I actually was enjoying W10, because I had discovered that I could fix USB issues easily with the 'Hardware and Devices' troubleshooter. Why did Microsoft get rid of something that actually made W10 good? I feel that Microsoft excels at ruining good things. Now I have no way of fixing my USB devices :(
This did not help. This is like saying to me.. Oh, you will die of cancer. Hope that helps.
