Microsoft’s "Fix it" automated solutions help you solve problems with Windows and other Microsoft products at the point of need. The Fix it process is an easy, intuitive method that automates manual steps commonly found in online support content such as Knowledge Base (KB) articles.

You can find Fix it solutions in some content available on this site or in dynamic content such as a Windows Error Reporting (WER)solution. When you find a Fix it solution you have a safe and trusted way to apply automated fixes, configuration settings, and workaround steps just as you would find in the manual steps section of support content assets. The Fix it team has been working with several computer manufacturers (OEMs) to automate their customers' top issues and are engaging with Microsoft MVPs to leverage their expertise to suggest additional automation candidates.

"The vision for Portable Contacts has been around for a long time. Sites large and small share the goal of providing users a secure way to access their address books and friends lists without having to take their credentials or scrape their data. But only in recent weeks has it begun to feel that now is the right time to rally the community and the industry to work together to make this vision real by developing an open spec for exchange of contact info that everyone can embrace."
