Summary
The documentation generally maintains parity between Windows and Linux troubleshooting steps, especially in the 'Trusted root certificates' section, which provides detailed instructions for both platforms. However, there are several sections where Windows is prioritized or referenced first, such as service management (COM+ and VSS) and proxy autodetection (Internet Explorer), and Windows tools (Services console, Internet Explorer) are mentioned without Linux equivalents. Some examples and screenshots are Windows-centric, and instructions for Windows sometimes precede those for Linux, which may create minor friction for Linux/macOS users.
Recommendations
  • Ensure that troubleshooting steps for both Windows and Linux are presented with equal prominence, ideally side-by-side or in parallel tabs.
  • Where Windows tools (e.g., Services console, Internet Explorer) are referenced, provide Linux/macOS equivalents or clarify if the issue is Windows-specific.
  • Add Linux/macOS screenshots or command-line examples where only Windows screenshots are shown.
  • Avoid referencing Windows-specific patterns (like proxy autodetection from Internet Explorer) without noting the Linux alternative (e.g., environment variables, config files).
  • In sections where Windows instructions are given first, consider alternating or grouping by OS to avoid implicit prioritization.
