OS
Windows 11
The clasic troubleshooting mechanism (MSDT) has been removed from Win1123h2 in 2025. Is there a way to restore it? It should be the case because it has nor be disabled in 22h2 and that OS uses the same codebase. Possibly, can be restored via vivetool?

From Brink.

As part of the deprecation of Microsoft Support Diagnostic Tool (MSDT) and MSDT Troubleshooters, Microsoft has begun redirecting some of the troubleshooters found under Settings > System > Troubleshoot and in other areas of the OS to the new Get Help app troubleshooting platform.

You may be able to still run some of the troubleshooters using option three in the tutorial below.

    …still on a horse.
These troubleshooters have very seldom been of any use, and now the newer versions seem to be even more useless

That 32 bit code is probably gone but you could always create shortcuts, put then in a folder called Troubleshooters.
But be aware that should be going away shortly as well.

Just in case it is not obvious, the above commands have to be prefaced with
Makefile: 
msdt.exe -id
then one of the above Troubleshooting commands and press Enter.
