Fixing Windows 10 errors.

Windows 10 is a complex system of services, processes, and algorithms. Periodically, this system experiences failures, which causes various types of errors to arise and, as a result, problems arise related to the disruption of the smooth operation of the computer. Any such error has its own individual system code, thanks to which you can identify its cause and determine a way to solve the problem.

The most common Windows 10 errors

Despite the fact that the Windows system is able to “endow” each error with a personal code, identifying its cause is quite difficult. After all, no one gives the user a decoding of such an “error code”. For him it is always just a set of numbers and letters. Consequently, deciding on a way to solve a problem that has arisen is always problematic. Therefore, in our article we will provide a short table with the most common “error codes”, the reasons for their occurrence and solutions.

Table: basic Windows 10 error codes (reasons and solutions)

During use different Windows versions, the author of this article has repeatedly encountered various errors (which had not only basic error codes), each of which needed its own solution. However, the author can give one helpful advice: first of all, if any of the listed errors occur, you should run a system scan of your computer with auto-recovery of damaged files (“DISM”). In 70–80% of cases, this step can completely correct the error.

In order to run such a scan you need to:

1. Using the WIN+R combination, launch the command line, where you need to enter “cmd”. In the window that appears, enter the command “Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth”.

   Even if the scan showed that there are no damaged components, it is still worth carrying out the recovery process

2. As soon as the scan is completed, enter the command to automatically restore damaged components “Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth”.

   The recovery process usually takes only a couple of minutes

3. When the recovery process is complete, close the window and restart your computer.

Windows 10 Error Log (what is it and how to use it)

The Windows 10 error log (or event log) is a system file that records all Windows errors that have occurred (both obvious ones with notifications to the user, and hidden ones). Using such a log, you can not only find out down to the second when an error occurred, but also its code, as well as the source of its occurrence. To use the event log:

1. Open the Windows Control Panel and go to the Administrative Tools section.
2. In the folder that opens, launch the “Event Viewer” file.

   For more convenient and quick start event log, the “Event Viewer” shortcut can be moved to the desktop of your PC

3. In the system application window that launches, on the left side, all available event logs are located.

   All events can be sorted by one of the required parameters

4. Scrolling through the list, you need to find the error that has occurred, highlight it, and in the “Details” tab (expanding the “System” / “Keywords” parameter) find the error code. Once you know the code, you can determine the cause and how to solve it.

   In addition to the error code, you can find out the full name of the damaged file (application) by expanding the “Provider” parameter

Video: Windows Event Log

To make it easier and faster to navigate the Windows event log (especially when you need to find an error), the author of this article recommends clearing it at least once a month. To do this, just right-click on the “System” category and click “Clear Log”. In addition, it is worth remembering that not all events marked “Error” are critical, since even a minor harmless technical failure in the system is recorded in this log.

The Windows operating system is a complex “digital machine” that periodically experiences failures. No user can be immune from system errors. However, a timely response to their occurrence, studying and preventing the consequences can help your OS avoid critical malfunctions. Therefore, the ability to identify “error codes” and be able to decipher them is a paramount task on the path to stable Windows operation.

Malicious programs, incorrect installation/uninstallation of applications, improper editing of the registry, etc. lead to critical errors and failures in the Windows 7, 8, 10 and XP operating system. But even if the user knows which “jamb” led to the error, he will not always be able to fix it on his own.

Correction of system errors in this case must be entrusted to third party utilities and programs. We have selected the five most famous and effective programs that will help fix operating system errors.

Friends, hello everyone! In this article I want to tell you about something that I recently learned about. It turns out that Windows 10 Update 1703 has a built-in bug fix. It turns out this way without having to visit the official Microsoft website.

That is, now you don’t need to download anything additional to fix problems that arise with the system. Naturally, I began to read what they wrote about this on specialized forums on the Internet. And here there was a fly in the ointment.

Some users complain that this function takes a very long time to work or even freezes. Others, on the contrary, praise enthusiastically. In general, until you try it yourself, you are unlikely to understand. So let's find out from our own experience.

Where is the Windows 10 built-in error fix section?

There are two ways. The first of them is “Start-Settings-Update and Security-Troubleshooting”:

And the second route is through the "Control Panel" tab. There you should select the “Small icons” view mode so that the desired item appears in the general list:

But as for me, the first access option (via “Parameters”) is much simpler and has a more clear breakdown by category of faults. Well, now you need to decide on the problem in order to launch the necessary diagnostic utility.

How to use Windows 10 built-in error fixing?

I must say that the list of possible problems with the system is really impressive: problems with sound playback, Internet connection, printing, equipment and devices, store Windows applications and many others:

Well, let's assume that we have problems with . For the purity of the experiment, I completely disabled the network adapter on the “Hardware” tab. As a result, the Internet Connections snap-in revealed nothing.

Also, on a working card, I tried deleting the default gateway values, thereby blocking access to the Network. But, again, the utility did not detect anything. But shutdown network adapter found another specialized troubleshooter without any problems. The chronology of events is shown in the screenshots below:

Well, what can I say, for inexperienced users this is a cool, and most importantly, simple way to fix a problem that has arisen. Therefore, I believe that the built-in error correction of Windows 10 has a right to life. What do you think about this? Please write your thoughts in the comments to the article.

And in conclusion, as always, I suggest you watch another interesting video.

FixWin 10 for Windows 10, has been tested on original Windows 10, 32 and 64-bit versions. FixWin may not work on modified Windows images(builds, repacks). If you have any questions, write them in the comments.

Windows 10 is one of the most complex operating systems ever created. Millions of lines of code, many different components and services work so that the user can comfortably perform their tasks. But in such a complex mechanism, sooner or later problems arise. Windows 10 has several services that can fix system errors. We will tell you about them in this manual.

How to Fix Windows 10 Errors Using System File Check

The first thing you should do when detecting system Windows problems 10, is to use the mechanism System File Check(check system files). It analyzes and collects data on the status of critical system components. In addition, its functions include fixing non-critical system errors.

Warning: if you manually modified any system files(including DLLs), then this mechanism can return them to their initial state.

The screenshot above shows that the utility did not detect any damage to the system. Other results may also be displayed:

• Resource Protection detected and corrected the corruption. In this case, we advise you to run the process again to ensure that there is no damage.
• Resource Protection detected corruption but was unable to fix it. In this case, run the process again, and if the system errors are still not corrected, proceed to the next section of this article.

The recovery service cannot be started

When executing the command scannow possible error The recovery service cannot be started. You can try to fix it like this:

If this does not help, continue to the next section of this instruction.

Fixing Windows 10 errors using DISM

If System File Checker does not help, then you should use a more powerful utility to repair system files in Windows 10 and fix errors.

Could not find source files

You may receive an error when executing the command Could not find source files. This means that the recovery service does not have temporary files with which to perform the operation. To actually launch it, you will have to perform some rather time-consuming steps:

1. , and exactly the version of the system that you have installed.
2. , which you have installed. That is, if the image is version 14393.0, and you have build 14393.970 installed, then you need to integrate update 14393.970. Otherwise, the recovery mechanism will not work correctly.
3. with this image.
4. Now run as administrator just like you did before.
5. Enter the following command:
   DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /source:WIM: X:\Sources\Install.wim:1 /LimitAccess
   Here X- the letter that indicates the inserted bootable flash drive in the system.
6. Run the recovery mechanism again.

As you can see, this is not that easy, so it may be worth following the instructions in the last section of this article.

How to run recovery mechanisms in safe mode

There is a possibility that when the system starts in safe mode(in a minimal configuration) the utilities described above will be able to restore system files.

1. Run in minimal configuration.
2. Follow the steps above (apply SFC and DISM mechanisms).

How to restore all system files

If none of the instructions above help, the only option left is a full recovery method.

Note: Some screenshots and steps may differ slightly from what you see when applying this recovery method. This is due to the fact that Microsoft is constantly improving the utility used.

Windows 10 will essentially be reinstalled with your settings, apps, and files intact. All system files will be returned to their standard state. This process may take 1-1.5 hours. During this time, do not touch the PC.

If this instruction did not help you, think about it as a universal solution to all problems.
