## Microsoft Support Diagnostic Tool
The [Microsoft Support Diagnostic Tool (MSDT)](/windows-server/administration/windows-commands/msdt) gathers diagnostic data for analysis by support professionals.

Some of the built-in troubleshooters have already been [redirected](#redirected-troubleshooters) to the Get Help platform, while others will be [retired](#retired-troubleshooters).
MSDT also allowed you to run [custom troubleshooting packages](/previous-versions/windows/desktop/wintt/package-schema).
If you are using MSDT to run [custom troubleshooting packages](/previous-versions/windows/desktop/wintt/package-schema), it will be available as a [Feature on Demand](/windows-hardware/manufacture/desktop/features-on-demand-v2--capabilities) before the tool is fully retired in 2025. This will allow you to continue to use MSDT to run custom troubleshooting packages while transitioning to a new platform.
### Redirected MSDT troubleshooters
The following troubleshooters will automatically be redirected when you access them from **Start** > **Settings** > **System** > **Troubleshoot**:
| Redirected troubleshooters | | |
| ---|---|---|
| Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) | Bluetooth | Internet Connections |
| Network Adapter | Playing Audio | Printer |
| Program Compatibility Troubleshooter | Recording Audio | Video Playback |
| Windows Network Diagnostics | Windows Media Player DVD | Windows Media Player Library |
| Windows Media Player Settings | Windows Update | |
