Are Windows repair solutions like a traffic light button?

Ever notice that almost always, windows "fixes" for things like boot
corruption or disk errors never work? They go into endless "diagnosing
your pc" and "repairing your pc" loops that themselves need fixing? And
before long, you are back at the dinosaur of DOS, fiddling with "fixes"
at the command-prompt? Only after all that and worthless "refreshes" do
you realize a complete re-install of the operating system is needed? DOS
fixes like chkdsk /f/r c: can turn into HOURS long endurance tests, even
on a fast pc? None of this is really surprising, given Windows current
incarnation is what, about 100 million lines of code?

I haven't noticed anything like that at all. I've been using Linux
systems exclusively for 20+ years. Debian is rock solid and I've never
had an issue doing an update or upgrade with it.
