    Late last week I was trying to figure this out again.  I decided to check the Microsoft Community Hubs again,  just in case someone had posted a possible solution.  And lo and behold there was a reply to another question similar to mine.  I've copied the solution I found below, it comes from a trusted Microsoft MVP.

     

    To start, you have to do this using the command prompt administrators option.  

    Type each command (msdt.exe /id .....) below independently and by itself and hit "Enter" after each line is complete.  Wait for it to complete one command before moving on to the next one.

     

    Network Adapter:

    msdt.exe /id NetworkDiagnosticsNetworkAdapter

     

    Internet Connections:

    msdt.exe /id NetworkDiagnosticsInbound

     

    Windows Update:

    msdt.exe /id WindowsUpdate

     

    Bluetooth:

    msdt.exe -id BluetoothDiagnostic

     

    Background Intelligent Transfer Service:

    msdt.exe -id BITSDiagnostic

     

    DirectAccess:

    msdt.exe -id NetworkDiagnosticsDA

     

    Devices and Printers:

    msdt.exe -id DeviceCenterDiagnostic

     

    Program Compatibility:

    msdt.exe -id PCWDiagnostic

     

    Speech:

    msdt.exe -id SpeechDiagnosticCalibrate

     

    Video Playback:

    msdt.exe -id VideoPlaybackDiagnostic

     

    Printer:

    msdt.exe /id Printers

     

    Hardware and Devices:

    msdt.exe /id WindowsHardware

     

    Audio Playback:

    msdt.exe /id AudioPlaybackDiagnostic

     

    Power:

    msdt.exe /id PowerDiagnostic

     

    Display:

    msdt.exe /id Display

     

    Windows Store Apps:

    msdt.exe /id WindowsStoreDiagnostic

     

    System Maintenance:

    msdt.exe /id MaintenanceDiagnostic

     

    Windows Media Player:

    msdt.exe /id WindowsMediaPlayerConfigurationDiagnostic

     

    Windows Network Diagnostics:

    msdt.exe /id NetworkDiagnosticsDiagPackage

     

    Windows Security:

    msdt.exe /id WindowsSecurityDiagnostic

     

    Incoming Connections:

    msdt.exe /id NetworkDiagnosticsInbound

     

    Outgoing Connections:

    msdt.exe /id NetworkDiagnosticsOutbound

     

    Network Adapter Settings:

    msdt.exe /id NetworkDiagnosticsDirect

     

    Shared Folders:

    msdt.exe /id SharedFoldersDiagnostic

     

    Internet Explorer Performance:

    msdt.exe /id IePerfDiagnostic

     

    Windows Media Player Library:

    msdt.exe /id WindowsMediaPlayerLibraryDiagnostic

     

    Now, not all of them will run successfully.  Those that don't run successfully are not part of the current version of the troubleshooters.  Also after completing the repairs I had to run each troubleshooter so they could be reset.
