End of the Windows Diagnostic Tool (MSDT) and MSDT Troubleshooters

 Windows Diagnostic Tool (MSDT) and MSDT Troubleshooters retiring soon...



Microsoft has announced that it will be deprecating the Microsoft Support Diagnostic Tool (MSDT) and MSDT Troubleshooters in future versions of Windows. The deprecation process will begin in 2023 and is expected to be completed in 2025.


MSDT is a legacy tool that has been used to troubleshoot Windows problems for many years. However, it has become increasingly outdated and is no longer as effective as newer troubleshooting tools. Additionally, MSDT has been the target of several security vulnerabilities in recent years.


Microsoft is replacing MSDT with a new troubleshooting platform called Get Help. Get Help is a cloud-based platform that provides a more comprehensive and effective troubleshooting experience. Get Help includes a variety of new features, such as:


* The ability to troubleshoot problems remotely with the help of a Microsoft support agent

* A library of troubleshooting articles and videos

* A community forum where users can ask for help and share solutions


I have also made a video in this topic so watch the video down below for more information.

Extra note:  Just in my opinion maybe this is the beginning of a new Windows OS , maybe Windows 12. Microsoft is slowly removing the legacy components from the Windows to fully refresh the future versions of Windows? next they might remove the Control Panel? what do you think?
