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.
Correcting 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.
Fix it utilities are downloaded on Windows 7 automatically and absolutely free.

For most of Microsoft's built-in tools, you'll need to open a Command Prompt with Administrator rights. In Windows 10, the easiest way to do this is by right-clicking on the “Start” button and selecting “Command Prompt (Administrator).”
In Windows 7, call Start | All programs | Standard" and then right-click on "Command Prompt". From the menu, select "Run as administrator".
For many recovery operations you will need a command prompt window with administrator rightsRecent versions of Windows save some of the current settings to the clipboard when shutting down to speed up subsequent loading. As a result, some errors may reappear even after the system is restarted.
Using a simple command, you will perform a full reboot to, if possible, free the OS from accumulated problems. Press the "Win+R" keys and enter "shutdown -g -t 0". The "-g" option provides a full reboot. The second parameter, “-t 0”, performs it quickly, saving you from unnecessary queries.
Sometimes all you need to do to rid Windows of errors is to enter this short command. It provides a complete reboot The built-in Windows tool, Chkdsk, scans your hard drive and repairs bad sectors. To run it, open a command prompt window with administrator rights and enter “chkdsk C: /f /r” there. The “C:” parameter causes the utility to check the “C:” partition, while “f” and “/r” are used to find and correct bad sectors.
If there is another process accessing the partition being scanned, which happens quite often, the Chkdsk utility will offer to scan immediately after the next computer startup.
Quite often it turns out that Chkdsk can perform a scan only after rebooting the computer. Finding errors in the boot log
If Windows constantly crashes during startup, you can look for the cause in a damaged driver. The only question is, which one? To find out, activate the “Load Logging” function. In Windows 7, you will find it in the “Advanced boot options”, which is called up by pressing the “F8” key during the system startup process.
In the "top ten" select "Start | Options | Update and Security | Recovery" and under the line "Special boot options" click on the "Restart now" button. After this, select “Diagnostics | Additional options | Boot Options | Reboot."
Start logging the download by pressing the “2” key. Restart Windows (in Safe Mode if necessary) and in Windows Explorer open the file “Ntbtlog.txt”, which you will find in the “C:\Windows” folder. The driver responsible for the failure is usually located last in the list. Search Google for additional information about this driver and, based on this, either remove or update it.
In a Windows text file, through boot logging, reports the startup sequence of the drivers
Damage to system files can be caused by, among other things, an improper shutdown of Windows. The Sfc tool checks for the presence of such items and, if necessary, replaces them with a copy stored on the local disk.
To use Sfc, open a command prompt window with administrator rights and type “sfc /scannow”. The analysis will take a few minutes. Once it is complete, restart your computer and perform the necessary computer updates.
The Sfc command line utility finds damaged system files and fixes them if necessary Sfc accesses the component store. Windows stores copies of system files in it, so that if the originals are damaged, they can be launched from there. However, errors can also creep into copies. In this case, open a command prompt window with administrator rights and type “dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth” there to restore the component store. After that, run the command “sfc /scannow” again.
Windows automatically saves previous versions of drivers, which you can use at any time There are situations when problems arise after updating the driver. In such cases, you can return to the previous version: click on “Win+Pause” and in the upper left corner click on “Device Manager”.
In the list, find the hardware whose driver is causing the problem and right-click on it. Select Properties and go to the Driver tab. Click on the "Rollback" button to return to the previous version.
In Windows 7, if you press the F8 key at boot, you can load the last working configuration. This option has disappeared in Windows 10, but it can be returned. First, in a command prompt opened with administrator rights, enter the command “bcdedit /set (default) bootmenupolicy legacy.” Now press the “Win+R” combination and enter “regedit”.
Go to the "LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Configuration Manager" entry and create a "LastKnownGood" section there. In it, create a DWORD value called “Enabled” and set its value to “1”. Now in the "ConfigurationManager" section, create a DWORD value called "BackupCount" and set its value to "2".
Completely restart your computer to enable this feature. Now, when you press the “F8” key, you can also select an earlier, functioning configuration.
When updating or installing Windows 10, errors may occur that are displayed by the operating system only in the form of encrypted codes. We'll show you what's hidden behind them.
Additional information on specific error codes can be found at https://goo.gl/ZnsY6N
Checking RAM
The cause of repeated Windows crashes may be problems with RAM. Instead of immediately running to the store for a new one, first carry out diagnostics using the system.
In “seven” and “ten” press the “Windows” key and enter the word “memory”. Select the Windows Memory Checker option. Close all open files and restart your computer by clicking “Restart and check (recommended).” After the reboot, the RAM test will automatically start. Click on "F1" to activate additional checks. Use the Down Arrow button on your keyboard to navigate to the Extended option and press F10 to apply the changes.
This method of testing RAM is considered the most accurate, but it has one important drawback: during testing and analysis, you will not be able to work on a PC in parallel.
Once all tests are completed, Windows will start normally and display the results. If the checker finds errors, the RAM will have to be replaced.
Windows Memory Checker checks RAM for errors
Good day, readers.
Users of Microsoft operating systems often encounter situations where various types of errors occur. Over time, they accumulate, which only leads to deterioration of the device. To prevent this, you need to have an application that can fix everything automatically. At the same time, the tools will help you deal with registry ailments, mismatched file associations, incorrect shortcuts, and much more that interfere with the proper functioning of your hardware. Later in the article I will tell you how to fix errors on a Windows 7 computer in several ways. Users just have to choose the one that suits them.
Despite the name, this application is not only suitable for the latest version of the operating system from Microsoft. Moreover, it can be used both for maximum assembly and for home use.
The application has many advantages:
a wide range of tools for free automatic problem fixes (does not open " Start", shortcuts and applications do not launch, system areas are blocked);
no installation required;
providing detailed information regarding manual correction of each individual error.
True, the program does not provide a Russian interface.
Relatively recently, the most famous Russian company offering antivirus software, Kaspersky, posted a new utility on its website.
Cleaner can be downloaded for free. It has a wide range of functions, including:
The program has many advantages:
maximum simplicity – the application will be understandable even for a novice user;
a Russian-language interface is provided;
“smart” problem fixing that will help not harm the system.
In general, the program allows you to quickly and without reinstalling the system restore your computer to working order.
The developers of the most popular operating system in the world are well aware that problems sometimes occur with their brainchild. Therefore, they presented a tool that allows you to quickly and freely fix the most famous operating system ailments.
The program finds a solution to a specific problem and automatically does everything to cope with it. This tool is also distributed under the name Easy Fix. You can also download it from the official Microsoft website.
Using the application is carried out in several steps:
You need to select the area to which the problem relates.
A text description appears.
If necessary, place an application on your device for automatic correction.
Usually, users of Windows professional version and any other version do not even pay attention to an important item in the control panel - “ Troubleshooting..." This solution can help deal with many ailments of the system.
Just launch the application. Find the item " View all categories" A complete list of all corrections that occur automatically and do not require connecting additional programs will appear. Although not always, but often these remedies help to cope with the problem.
If necessary, there is an option to interact with the installation disk. However, to do this, you first need to correctly place the program on a removable device.
The app is somewhat reminiscent of Fix It. The truth has more convenient functionality. The main advantage is that the fixes also work for the latest two versions of Microsoft operating systems.
You need a little to work:
Install the application and launch it.
Then you need to find a specific error and click “ Fix now" Then the application automatically does everything that is necessary.
It is worth noting that to solve most problems, you need to have an Internet connection to download the missing system files.
However, the software has several disadvantages. For example, there is no Russian interface provided here. Additionally, there are relatively few tools offered. But at the same time their number is constantly growing.
The application can already fix:
label errors;
problems with launching programs due to missing input files *.dll(libraries);
ailments of the registry editor, task manager and more.
Well, the main advantage, of course, is installing only the required solution. The program does not want to additionally place a lot of additional unwanted applications on the computer.
This program was originally created as anti-virus software. At the same time, it has a small addition “ System Restore" It allows you to automatically correct many errors found in the operating system. To do this, just perform a few movements:
We place the application on your device. It only works this way, so you won’t be able to use it from the installation flash drive.
We run it and mark what needs to be fixed.
In addition to the applications described above, Windows also has a tool that allows you to check the integrity of system files and, if necessary, fix them. To do this you need to perform several steps:
Let's go to " Start" and then in " Service».
Right-click on the command line and run it as administrator.
A new window will appear with a black background. On the command line we write “ sfc /scannow" and confirm by pressing " Enter" The corresponding tool will launch, which will automatically check and correct everything. Moreover, such capabilities are available in all the latest versions of Microsoft operating systems, regardless of the bit depth - 32 or 64 bit.

I hope you will understand all the ailments that affect the operation of your computer. Subscribe and tell others.
Any Windows-based operating system crashes after a long period of use. System disks become clogged with residual and temporary files and programs. Clutter in the system leads to decreased overall productivity. The device takes a long time to load and performs operations slowly. The biggest problem for users is the occurrence of errors due to failures in Windows 7. There are internal and external ways to resolve errors in the system. Internal methods involve the use of Windows power and resources; external methods use programs and utilities.
CHKDSK is a utility utility built into the operating system. The purpose of the utility is to restore damaged sectors on the hard drive. Also, CHKDSK fixes system file errors. The utility is launched from the command line in Windows 7. You can launch the command line in several ways:

The utility can also be launched from the command line. To run the scan, you will need Administrator rights. At the command line you need to enter “sfc /scannow”. The system will automatically check files, including closed ones, correct errors, and restore damaged ones from a cached copy. 
Using the command line is suitable for advanced users. For those who are not well versed in how computers work, the windowed option for diagnosing and troubleshooting problems is suitable. Additionally, users of the Windows 7 operating system have access to tools for searching for solutions and downloading important updates in the Update and Support Centers.
This is an internal Windows program that allows you to diagnose the system for errors and find solutions to eliminate them. You can launch it in the following way:
A window will open with a list of all system capabilities of the computer. In most cases, it is enough to run a check of the “Performance” item. By double clicking on the selected item, the user will start the scan. To ensure that the system fixes errors immediately, you should check the “Automatically apply fixes” checkbox.
The Action Center tool monitors the status of the operating system and stores reports of errors and failures. Using the Center, you can find problems that have occurred and correct them.
To correct errors in the system, go to the “Maintenance” section of the Center.
Windows 7 is already considered outdated. Microsoft has stopped actively supporting users on this version of the operating system, but updates are still being released. Their installation is optional, but the system corrects errors and restores damaged files during the process of downloading the next update.
On newly installed Windows, updates are searched for and downloaded automatically. If this option is disabled, the user can start the process manually:
The system will offer to install the found updates. It is recommended to agree.

Most users begin to worry about the state of the system only when the blue screen of death appears regularly. Below is a list of the most common ones.
| Error number | What means |
| 0x00000001 | Errors in the file system, drivers. Lack of hard disk/RAM space |
| 0x0000000A | Invalid device driver address |
| 0x0000001E | Driver or OS feature problem |
| 0x00000020 | One of the APC counters is disabled/damaged |
| 0x00000023 | Failure in hard drive partition (FAT) |
| 0x00000024 | Hard drive failure (NTFS) |
| 0x0000002A | Disabling IPR while the driver is executing a command |
| 0x0000002B | Kernel driver uses too much stack space |
| 0x0000002E | RAM failure |
| 0x00000031 | System initialization error (early stage) |
| 0x00000032 | System initialization error (late stage) |
| 0x00000035 | There is no free space in the OS stack for driver interaction |
| 0x00000036 | An attempt was made to remove a component that was in progress |
| 0x0000003E | System processes do not match each other in level/symmetry |
The listed errors can be solved by running a scan and fix, rolling back the system, or reinstalling Windows.
This method is suitable in cases where the user has installed incorrect settings on the computer, but does not know what exactly the error is. Entering the BIOS on different devices is carried out at the moment of switching on. To launch the BIOS menu, you need to hold down one of the hot keys (you can find out more on the manufacturer’s website). Most often, these are the F8, F10, Del buttons.
On older BIOS types, resetting to default settings was carried out on the main page. “Item Load Fail-Safe Defaults.”
On new PCs and laptops, this function is located in the right “Exit” tab, usually referred to as “Load Setup Defaults”.
In some cases, the system is so damaged that it does not start in the usual window format. You can run error checking and elimination in safe mode via the command line (see above).
On most devices, safe mode is launched by frequently pressing the F8 button at startup. A boot menu will appear where you can select an option. The pointer is moved with the up and down buttons, and selection is made with the Enter key.
If error correction does not lead to the expected result, you should try to restore the system to a more efficient state. The simplest algorithm:
The computer will restart and function correctly.
This method is suitable in cases where nothing helps at all. Recovery in the Windows RE environment is carried out not from the operating system, but from the BIOS. Algorithm of actions:
It is recommended to select “Startup Repair” to troubleshoot problems and recover damaged files. System Restore performs comprehensive troubleshooting. A command line is also available in Windows RE, through which you can run internal utilities to check and troubleshoot problems.
Report content
Most computer owners cannot troubleshoot problems related to the operating system manually.
There are standard and additional methods for this. Which one to use depends on the specific situation.
To do this, go to the control panel and click on the “troubleshooting” option. See pic:
As you can see from the picture, there are many tools. Identify the error, find it in the menu and click. Next, the utility will launch and automatically eliminate errors.
Of course, there are many more of them than appear in the control panel. There are no solutions for everything.
Another way to automatically correct system errors is through special mini-utilities called “FIX”.
Another standard option for automatically fixing system errors is an installation disk.
Insert it into the drive, and begin to perform the same steps as when reinstalling Windows, but when you reach the Windows 7 function, click below, as in the figure below, system recovery. Then follow the written instructions.
Everything described above refers to standard methods. There are many additional programs in the form of programs for automatically correcting errors that have arisen. For example, “RegistryBooster” or “Reg Organizer”, but I don’t use them.
I prefer others - "" and "CCleaner". The second only corrects the registry, while the first can automatically eliminate most system errors.
To perform these operations manually will require a lot of time and knowledge, but relying only on “automation” is also not worth it.
This especially applies to. Now I don’t remember exactly which program I used for this, but after her intervention, nothing helped to eliminate its “workings,” nothing helped, I had to completely change the operating system.
So treat automatic error correction with caution and, at a minimum, always create a restore point, or better yet, write the image to an external hard drive.
There is another option, find out what is happening with your computer. True, it refers to manual mode.
This is to look at what is written in the Windows log. All errors that happened to your computer are stored there.
Sometimes they are written in the form of a code that can be easily deciphered. Although this does not apply to automatic elimination of system errors, sometimes the only way is to find out what happened and then fix it.
To avoid such problems, as I wrote above, try to purchase an external hard drive and make copies of images from time to time.
Only then can you be 100% sure that you will always automatically correct absolutely all system errors.
