What is Steps Recorder?

The Problem Steps Recorder is a utility that captures a detailed record of user actions on a device, enabling efficient remote troubleshooting. By automatically documenting mouse movements, clicks, and screenshots, the tool creates a comprehensive MHTML report that can be easily shared with support personnel. This allows technicians to precisely understand the context and progression of a reported issue, without requiring the user to describe their steps. The captured data includes highlighted screenshots at each interaction point, providing visual context, as well as optional user commentary to annotate specific details. This feature-rich solution streamlines the troubleshooting process, enabling support teams to quickly identify and resolve problems on remote systems
