Enable or disable the Windows Error Report service on Windows 10/8/7

Windows Error Reporting (WHO), introduced since Windows Vista, works in the same way as user mode dumps. But this service is not enabled by default in Windows 10/8, and a registry round can be executed to put it into action.

In this article, I will show you how to enable this Windows Error Reporting service using the Windows registry so that you can easily collect dump files into a folder in the Explorer (16). Please note that applications that create their own custom crash reports, including.NET applications, are not supported by this feature. read more

How often should system restore points be used in Windows?

System restore points are available from Windows XP, as far as I can remember. I don’t remember if Windows 98 or Windows 2000 had the option. Speaking of system recovery points, they are just a little above a screenshot of your system drive. They capture the resident program, its settings and the Windows registry as an image and save a few items needed to rebuild the system disk until you decide to go back.

Difference between system backup and system restore point

System backup and system restore point creation are two different things – like day and night. When you back up your computer – let’s just say the system drive – literally copy all the data from the system drive to a different location than the system drive. I’ve never heard of anyone making a backup of a system disk to the system disk itself. This spoils the real purpose of system backup. read more

Error 8007371B when installing the KB2845533 update on Windows 10/8/7/Server

I had a client that was experiencing this problem and could not install KB2845533 from Windows Update. He used a Windows 8 machine. So my first problem was to reset the Windows 10/8 update components, because that’s the first thing we try when we have a Windows update failure. Since Windows Update Reset resets the Winsock values, removes the BITS queue, resets proxy connections, and also resets the services responsible for Windows Update, this is about the default way to solve most Windows Update problems. read more

Force or set a fixed home screen layout for users under Windows 8.1

The boot screen introduced in Windows 8 last year has now received and updated Windows 8.1 with the recent Windows 8.1 update. You can lock the start screen , display it in Start mode (16) or Apps.

Scan the Windows Component Store or WinSxS in Windows 8.1

The WinSxS folder is the location of the Windows Component Store files. Windows component memory supports the functions needed to install, customize, and update the Windows operating system. It is used to install, update, update, uninstall, enable and disable Windows functions and components. It is also used for system recovery after corruption or boot failure.

In most cases, the size of the WinSxS folder seems larger than it really is. If you have checked the WinSx folder properties, you will see its size – but this may not be its actual size. Although there can only be one hard copy of the file, more than one copy of the same version of a file can be stored in several places in the operating system and is projected from the component memory only by paper link. read more
