Have you ever encountered an Windows serious error message that said
something along the lines of “Windows has recovered from a serious
error”? If you have, you probably remember how frustrated you got
when EVERY window you have open seems to close by themselves, once you
clicked OK when prompted by the error message.
For some applications they may restart and restore
whatever workspace you had open, but for Windows Explorer you may have
noticed that they’ve disappeared, and that you’re left with little
choice but to open every single one of them on your own.
Worst-case scenario? You encounter the same error message repeated every time you start your computer.
Now, this particular problem is more than likely
caused by a problem with the system registry. For those of you
inexperienced with the technical aspects of computer maintenance, fret
not. This article will show you a simple way of resolving this problem,
in no time at all.
When you first encounter the error message, you will
need to take note of the exact error message, word for word. Usually the
error message points out the cause of the error, and if you know where
to look, you’ll have no problem rectifying it immediately.
Look carefully at the error message when it pops up;
somewhere on the error message prompt there should be some numbers and
letters that would refer to the specific cause of the error or faulty
module, which can include your Page file, drivers, RAM or other
components of your computer.
But in order for you to get the full error message,
you will first need to turn off the automatic restart function of your
computer. By default, whenever your computer encounters a “serious
error”, it is programmed to restart automatically, which explains why
most of your application windows tend to close and reopen again once
your computer recovers from its hiccup.
But the automatic restart would also cause the error
message to disappear once everything restarts, so you will need to stop
this from happening to get the full picture of what’s going on.
You can turn off the automatic restart function by
right clicking on your My Computer icon, and then Properties. In your
System Properties window, click on the Advanced tab under Startup and
Recovery area, then go to Settings and make sure the check box on
Automatically Restart is unchecked.
Click OK to go back to the System Properties window and save the settings.
Once this is done, your computer will no longer
automatically restart when it encounters such error messages in future.
You will have the chance to view the error and take note of what it is
that is causing the error to begin with. However, keep in mind that if
you continue to encounter the same error messages you will have to
reboot your computer manually, which can become a hassle if it happens
too often.
Actually, resolving the serious error problem is
relatively easy. Most of the time the problem is caused by a corrupt or
cluttered system registry. bad or incomplete installs can screw up the
registry entries of your computer.
Even malware may have tampered with your system files
and registry without your knowledge. To fix this problem, simply use
the combination of antivirus and registry cleaner programs, one to clean
your computer of viruses, the other to sort your registry and keep it
in order.
So there you have it, simple, hassle-free ways that
you can do whenever you’re wondering what to do when Windows has
recovered from a Windows serious error.
