Course Overview

The Microsoft course Supporting and Troubleshooting Windows 10 is designed for IT professionals aiming to master the support and repair of Windows 10 systems within enterprise environments. This course aligns with the skills measured in the MD-100 exam, a key component of the Microsoft 365 Certified: Modern Desktop Administrator Associate certification. It serves job roles such as Enterprise Desktop Support Technicians (EDSTs), Help Desk Analysts, and IT Support Specialists who deliver Tier 2 support in medium to large organizations. With over 1.4 billion devices running Windows worldwide, demand for skilled Windows 10 troubleshooters remains high among enterprises relying on Microsoft ecosystems for daily operations.

Students engage with core Microsoft technologies including Windows 10 architecture, Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS), Group Policy Objects (GPOs), BitLocker encryption, Remote Desktop, and Windows PowerShell remoting. The hands-on lab environment includes simulated domain-joined clients where learners configure startup recovery settings, resolve network connectivity issues, and troubleshoot GPO application failures. A key practical scenario involves diagnosing a failed Windows boot sequence using the Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) and repairing Boot Configuration Data (BCD) entries via command-line tools. Labs also cover real-world tasks like recovering BitLocker-encrypted drives, troubleshooting remote access via DirectAccess or VPN, and resolving user profile corruption issues—all using official Microsoft diagnostic utilities such as Event Viewer, Performance Monitor, and Resource Monitor.

This training prepares candidates for the Microsoft MD-100 certification, widely recognized by employers as validation of essential Windows client management skills. Certified professionals report average salary increases, with roles like Desktop Support Technician earning between $50,000 and $70,000 annually, depending on experience and location. Koenig Solutions enhances learning with Guaranteed-to-Run batches, official Microsoft courseware, and instructor-led labs that simulate enterprise troubleshooting scenarios.
