Critical gta 4 error in Windows 10
As a rule, this error occurs for those who constantly use game programs on their computer (this error pops up at the wrong time for teenagers who love GTA 4 games). But here the guilt of teenagers does not seem to exist. Company developer Rockstar games Games is not very loyal to the creators of the operating system, which constantly update version 10. The game developer went to the trick, he offers users games 4-8 months after updating the OS versions. Along with this, you can eliminate the problems that have arisen:

Critical error 41 kernel power in Windows 10
For those who like to play with heavyweights game programs, the appearance of a critical error version 41 of Kernel Power for the Windows 10 operating system is not a surprise (as a rule, this is category 63). Such an error indicates that the OS cannot cope with the large amount of information that comes in during the game.
There is some incident here. Windows developers, which cannot explain why some calculations in programs fail, especially after commas in numerical fractions. Along with this, there are some points that help shed truth into the light, and this is a great merit of those who are fans of complex gaming systems. main reason overheating of the processor.
In this case, you will have to look at the current BIOS settings and parameters CPU, which may not be able to cope with the overclocking of a game or other program, as a result of which the processor overheats. If you are an ordinary user, then in order not to mess with the settings, we recommend that you reset all existing modes to the factory settings, and the BIOS option called Load will help you with this. BIOS Setup defaults or something like that. We find it, click "OK" and you are back at work.

Experienced experts say that this technique usually works on the 1st attempt, but some say that a second attempt may be needed to eliminate a critical error in operating system Windows 10 in Start mode and in the Cortana app.
Windows 10 demonstrates new approach to receive updates, and with the release of the Technical Preview, Microsoft's intentions have become a little clearer. The current operating system update model is extremely simple and familiar, but it has several problems.
Until the release of the next Windows operating system, Current version operating system remains virtually unchanged throughout life cycle. It receives critical security updates on a monthly basis (patches on Tuesdays) and occasional non-security fixes (both monthly and major service packs), but significant functional changes are saved until next version operating system.
This policy with the rule " service pack do not bring new features”, is publicly known. For example, even with the release of Windows XP Service Pack 2, the system remained the same Windows XP, although it included several new security-oriented features in the operating system kernel and Internet Explorer 6. Also, some breaking changes have been implemented to improve security due to potential application compatibility issues.
On the other hand, each Windows release was not static, but developed throughout the entire life cycle, acquiring new functions. However, feature development has always been limited - Microsoft's efforts have been focused on rare major changes, and new features usually don't change appearance and methods of interaction with the system. In this regard, Windows XP Service Pack 2, with its clearly visible changes, was an unusual exception.
These updates, whether security or feature updates, hit every Windows user, home or business. At the same time, Microsoft was not in a position to frequently release large and visible changes. After all, ordinary users may be happy with incremental improvements (and get used to such changes on smartphones, web applications and browsers), but corporate clients do not want frequent changes, or even simply unable to accept them due to various restrictions in their field of activity.
New Windows, new updates
In Windows 10, the approach to updates has changed to a large extent. Microsoft recognizes the need to release regular incremental improvements to the operating system. It also recognizes the difference in update requirements between home and enterprise users.
For the first time, all users will receive the same operating system but will be subject to different update policies. The old approach of not releasing functional changes to an existing system is a thing of the past.
Windows 10 will receive constant updates functions and security. Security patches will work the way they do today: released monthly and installed automatically on most users' computers. The feature update will have three release speeds. At one end of the scale, there will be a consumer release: features will be available immediately after release. So Windows will release a constant stream of updates, as is done in Chrome systems OS or Windows Phone.
At the other end is a complete rejection of functional updates in situations where nothing but security fixes can be installed. So Windows 10 will work critically important systems and environments where rigorous testing or certification is needed. This is a great option for organizations that don't want to risk introducing unknown UI elements and untested features.
There will also be an intermediate option that will allow businesses to keep up with new features, and have control over new OS features to make sure they don't disrupt business processes at the most inopportune moments. This will give administrators good opportunity, for example, to get several computers that are updated upon the release of updates and act as prototypes. But the rest of the organization's PCs will install these updates only after they have been "run-in" on prototypes.
Presumably, even with such continuous introduction of new Microsoft features will occasionally update the Windows version number. This will serve as an indicator of the arrival of the largest updates and will help to distinguish between versions.
Insider Information
Up to Windows release 10 in the middle of next year, Microsoft will support the program Windows Insider. At first glance, this program looks like a beta test of past versions of Windows, but there is a difference.
Microsoft collects as much information as possible about how people use the operating system and what they like (or dislike) about it. Moreover, at any time, the user can see what comments exist for a particular function of the system from other users.
To this end, data collection tools have been expanded. The Technical Preview will periodically ask you questions about working with the system - like "Which do you prefer: the classic control panel or the PC Settings application":
Microsoft needs user feedback and suggestions to improve the operating system. She wants to find out which is more convenient to use:
But the most a big difference with beta testing is that Windows program Insider can become permanent. Windows beta testing ended with release final version, but Windows 10 will receive a continuous stream of updates, so it needs constant beta testing.
Microsoft does not guarantee that the Windows Insider Program will work after exit Windows 10, but she talks about the possibility of it. And it would be absolutely logical: providing a large-scale testing ground for new functions, their development, testing on real users before the final release will help to develop a high-quality and necessary product.
Microsoft will probably find it difficult to release permanent updates without such verification. Google and Mozilla have similar systems for their browsers - interested users can download pre-release versions and test them. This efficient system, which provides more confidence in stable releases.
There are some indications of what this release stream might look like in the final operating system. The Neowin.net portal found a couple of registry entries that gave Windows 10 new settings. One parameter sets the speed of updates, the other is the choice of which branch of updates to install.
These options are currently not working. at least, for everyone outside corporate network Microsoft. But we can see that "update rate" can be used to control how fast a computer receives security updates, if at all, and the development branch is used to switch between stable release and the Insider program.
And although all this has an obvious relation to desktop systems, it is quite possible to apply the same approach in Windows Server. It may not be for everyone, but semi-regular releases of server updates already have precedents. In an open world source code server platforms updated quite often. Biannually major Ubuntu versions, for example, include both desktop and server versions.
While most server users might not be too keen on improvements user interface, things like performance improvements, enhanced hardware support, and management options can be just as welcome on a server as they are on a desktop PC.
Whether it happens or not, Windows 10 will be markedly different for users and administrators alike. This opens up the potential for a much faster evolution of Windows. Microsoft will take time to showcase what it has reliable system update development and testing. Until it proves their worth, businesses may be as skeptical of Windows 10 as they were with Windows 8.
About innovations in parts system updates in Windows 10 Creators Update in general, it was said in the next major update of the system, officially presented on April 11 this year. Windows 10 version 1703 received the Unified Update Platform mechanism for accelerated download updates, a longer period of time for the period of activity, the function of postponing the restart of the computer to install updates, and more flexible settings for the process of receiving updates. About the last - perhaps the most significant changes in Windows 10 Update - we'll talk more in this article.
Recall that the introduction of updates is already long time is problematic place Windows 10. The regular ability to selectively install updates and disable them completely, which was present in previous versions Windows, in version 10, was originally abolished. Windows 10 users Pro editions and above, only the option of postponing updates not related to security and fixing critical bugs was proposed for not certain period. Previous update Windows 10 Anniversary update brought into the system update mechanism only solutions that prevent unwanted reboots of computers (more). And only now, having upgraded to the Creators Update, users of Windows 10 Pro edition and higher can count on not quite complete, but at least some control over the update implementation process. And maybe not resort to third party tools their shutdowns.
We go to Windows Update 10 along the path:
Settings app → Update & Security → Update Center
Branch readiness level
One of the new options in the Advanced Update Center settings is the branch (branch) readiness level. Under the inscription "Choose when to install updates" we will find two possible options:
- current branch- branch stable version system 10, in which the new functionality is implemented after testing within the project preliminary evaluation Windows 10 Insider Preview
- current branch for business - A branch of Windows 10 that provides for a longer period of implementation of functional updates that have successfully proven themselves as part of the work of the Current Branch. From the name we can see that its main purpose is to be used in the corporate sector, where usually the stability and predictability of the behavior of the operating system is preferred to the new "untested" functionality.
2 Last option is an analogue of the "Defer receiving feature updates" option present in Windows 10 up to and including the Anniversary Update edition. Both the latter and the option to select the Current Branch for Business branch in the Creators Update do not define a specific time period for which updates to introduce new functionality are delayed. Only the concept of "several months" appears. The specifics are offered in two other options that are new to the Update Center in the Creators Update.
Postponing certain types of updates for a certain period
The option below the previous one allows you to select from the drop-down list a specific number of days within a year for which you can postpone the implementation of updates related to the delivery of new functionality. Windows features 10. Security updates and critical fixes will be rolled out as usual.
3 The option even lower is built on the same principle, and it provides the ability to defer security updates and critical fixes for up to 30 calendar days.
4 The possibility of deferring both functional and security updates is provided as a separate option.
35 days grace period to implement all updates
"Pause Updates" option in additional options Update Center by setting the switch to "On", in fact, returns Windows system mechanism complete failure from updates, as in predecessor versions. True, this mechanism will operate temporarily - up to a maximum of 35 days. Below the option switch, a specific date is indicated until which, or already as a fact, the search, download and installation of updates can be suspended.
5 After the grace period expires, the updates will be implemented and the pause option will become available again. And updates can be turned off for the next 35 days.
Disabling updates completely and for any period in Windows 10 Creators Update is still possible only by tampering with the settings group policy or system registry if we talk about regular tools (instructions are given). Or you need the participation of third-party tweaker utilities. One of the best in this regard is, providing not only the possibility complete shutdown, but also the mechanism for selective installation of Windows 10 updates.
Have a great day!

Microsoft Edge is new browser by default in Windows 10, and Redmond is making efforts to transfer users to it. Microsoft's aggressive approach has drawn criticism from both ordinary users and among industry representatives.
Recently, the director of Vivaldi complained that Microsoft was trying to force Edge as the default browser. The head of Vivaldi claims that Microsoft resets the default browser with every OS update, which is an unfair tactic towards users who use third-party browsers.
More recently, it has been noticed that Windows 10 is showing ads for the extension Google Chrome from Microsoft right on your desktop. Then Redmond said that only helpful tips to help users know the benefits Windows applications 10.

It brought users not only new opportunities, but also new problems.
So, many have encountered errors that manifest themselves cyclic reboots computer or the failure of some system functions, such as the Start menu and voice assistant Cortana.
What is the cause of these errors, Microsoft does not yet say, nor does it offer anything specific to solve them. However, ways to eliminate some of them have already been found.
Cortana app and start menu not working
A critical error in the Start menu and Cortana in Windows 10 appears both after an update and after a clean installation of the system with partition formatting.
Most often, it occurs immediately after loading, sometimes - after a few minutes.
The next time you sign in to Windows, everything repeats.
The cause of this error is associated with the modification of system settings by malware, but often it also occurs on just installed Windows 10.
How to resolve the error
- First of all, scan the system with an antivirus. AdwCleaner helps a lot in fighting malware that causes such crashes.
This utility removes trojans and adware, which are installed without the knowledge of the user and cannot be uninstalled in the usual ways.
- If the problem is not resolved, run the configuration utility system msconfig: click on the search icon on the taskbar, type in the command msconfig.exe to the line " Windows Search' and open the app.
- Go to the "Download" tab and check "No GUI" in the list of options. Now, at system startup, the animated Windows splash screen, but the error will disappear with it.
- Restart your computer. After logging in again, open Msconfig again and on the General tab, check Selective Startup. In this case, there must be a label "Use original boot configuration".
Important! If, after restarting Windows 10, the critical error of Cortana and Start occurs again, it is recommended to disable Cortana (it is still useless for Russian-speaking users), and reinstall Start.
Disabling Cortana
- Open the search by clicking on the magnifying glass icon on the taskbar, and enter the settings menu by clicking on the gear icon.
- Toggle both sliders to Off.
Reinstalling the start menu
- Run Command Prompt with administrator privileges. Run the command in it Powershell.
- After the line " PS C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32» execute the second instruction:
Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach (Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml”)
Windows Firewall is required for the basic Powershell instruction to run successfully.
- Click before start Windows keys Shift+F8.
- On the Select Action screen, click Diagnostics.
- Select Advanced Options.
- Then - "System Restore".
- Next, roll back to checkpoint created before the problem occurred.
Note! If you cannot enter the recovery environment by pressing Shift+F8, boot your computer from installation disk Windows 10 and without starting the installation, click "Repair your computer" (Restore the system).
