It used to fix WiFi issues for me back on Windows Vista (bleh). Vista would always have issues when I woke my laptop from sleep mode, and my WiFi would be disconnected and unable to reconnect/properly turn off. Running the troubleshooter would restart my wireless card. Other than that I haven't encountered anything it's helped, but I don't use windows too often these days.

The search service on my computer crashes from time to time and the troubleshooter gets it working again without having to reboot (I hate rebooting).
I think it fixed my MBR once during Win7 days.
Troubleshooter was always able to fix my network issues. (Basically just resetting it)
