How to fix errors on Windows 10 using FixWin 10

FixWin 10 allows you to fix any Windows 10 errors

After launching FixWin 10, in the main window you will see basic information about the system, as well as buttons to launch 4 actions: checking system files, re-registering Windows 10 store applications (in case of problems with them), creating a restore point and restoring damaged Windows components using the DISM.exe utility.

Before you start, I recommend that you definitely use the “Create Restore Point” button, in this case you can return the computer to its original state if suddenly something goes wrong and you want to undo the changes made by the program.

On the left side of the program window there are several sections , each of which contains automatic fixes for the corresponding errors. First, let's look briefly at each of these sections, and then we'll look at them in more detail.

• The File Explorer section contains typical Explorer errors (the desktop does not start when logging into Windows, WerMgr and WerFault errors, the CD and DVD drive does not work, and others).
• Internet and Connectivity section - contains Internet and network connection errors (DNS and TCP/IP protocol reset, firewall reset, Winsock reset, etc. Helps, for example, when pages in browsers do not open, but Skype is working normally at this time) .
• Windows 10 partition - contains errors typical for the new version of the OS.
• In the System Tools section , there are errors that occur when running Windows system tools, for example, Task Manager, Command Prompt or Registry Editor, disabled restore points, resetting security settings to default settings, etc. These errors can occur if any system applications have been disabled by the system administrator.
• The Troubleshooters section contains buttons to start diagnosing Windows problems for specific devices and programs.
• And the last section, Additional Fixes , contains additional tools: such as adding hibernation to the start menu, fixing disabled notifications, internal Windows Media Player errors, problems with opening Office documents after upgrading to Windows 10

An important point: each fix can be launched not only using the program in automatic mode: by clicking on the question mark next to the “Fix” button, you can see information about what actions or commands you can use to do this manually (if this requires a command command line or PowerShell, then by double clicking you can copy it).

About the program

The FixWin 10 interface has six tabs:

1) Windows Explorer. Allows you to very quickly eliminate errors that occur in Explorer.

2) Internet and communications. Using this tab, you can fix problems related to using the World Wide Web.

3) Windows 10. This new release tab solves several recent errors:

• Resetting system settings. It will be useful if the settings fail to start or, alternatively, some error suddenly appears.
• "START" menu - now errors can be resolved here too.
• Correction of Wi-Fi operation. It is used when the wireless Internet stops functioning after a system update.
• It is possible to correct shortcomings that arose during the system update and during the operation of the store. Re-registration of all programs in the store is also available.
• Problems with Microsoft Office, namely incorrect opening of documents, have now also been eliminated.
• EXE files now work again, and programs no longer display WerFault.exe errors.

4) Control panel. Allows you to modify your own tools in the panel. A new section “System Information” has appeared, with which you can find out some additional information about Windows:

• The number of threads available on the processor.
• Number of Cores.
• Maximum screen extension size.
• Maximum refresh rate, etc.

5) Troubleshooting tools. This tab provides links to troubleshooting solutions and links provided by Microsoft to download 4 troubleshooting options.

6) Additional fixes. Some other system fixes.

File Explorer Section – Explorer Errors

1. The name of the first error is translated as - The “recycle bin” icon is missing on the desktop. (When you click the Fix button, this fix will restore the Recycle Bin icon to your desktop that may have been deleted by some program or virus. It will make minor changes to the registry.
2. The second error is an application error WerMgr.exe or WerFault.exe. The instruction accessed memory that could not be read. Click OK to complete the program. (This error may occur due to an issue with Windows error reporting. Fix 1 will run Windows Memory Diagnostics, and Fix 2 will make changes to the registry and disable the WerSvc service.)
3. The third error translates as “There are no File Explorer settings in the Control Panel, this could have been done by an administrator or malicious programs.” The Fix button corrects this error.
4. Correction of the basket, if its icon is not updated automatically (here we mean that when the basket is empty, then its icon is an Empty Basket, but when there is something in it, the basket icon looks filled with pieces of paper. Fix and correct if there is such a mistake.
5. The desktop does not start (This Fix will help you in the following case: if when you turn on the computer, you see nothing but the wallpaper. The taskbar and other Windows components are not visible.)
6. Thumbnails don't show up in File Explorer. (As you probably guessed, this means that image thumbnails are not displayed, but the default icon is shown instead.
7. Reset the cart. The cart is damaged. (This Fix will fix all problems associated with the Recycle Bin. However, everything that is in the Recycle Bin will be deleted from it.)
8. The CD/DVD drive is not recognized by Windows and other programs. This fix will help fix this.
9. An error called “Class not registered” in Explorer and IE. Fixed with this fix.
10. There is no “Show hidden files, folders and drives” item in the folder properties. This occurs mainly if someone accidentally messed up the registry.

Blue Screen Errors on Windows 10

Like earlier versions, Windows 10 has a Blue Screen of Death with error codes. “Fatal screen” refers to problems that prevent the OS from functioning normally. When such problems occur, a blue background is displayed on the monitor, with a “sad” emoticon, an explanation of the error, and a code indicating the problem. After the “screen of death” is displayed on the monitor, the system reboots. After this, you can continue working on the device, but it is better to solve the problem that led to the malfunction.

Section Internet & Connectivity – Internet and Communications

1. The first error in this section translates as “The context menu does not work in IE.” (This fix fixes an issue in Internet Explore where right-clicking the mouse does not open the context menu.)
2. The next error is “There is no internet connection. Problems with the TCPIP protocol." (This fix will make changes to the registry to reset the TCPIP protocol settings.)
3. The following error, “Problems with DNS detection,” can be fixed by clearing the DNS cache.
4. The next item translates as “Long list of failed and installed updates.” This fix allows you to clear the history of installed and uninstalled Windows updates.
5. The following fix allows you to solve problems related to the Windows Firewall. Reset Windows Firewall Configuration.
6. Reset IE settings to default.
7. Runtime errors occur in Internet Explorer when surfing. (These errors can be caused if the website uses HTML code that is not compatible with the given web browser.)
8. Next comes a fix to optimize IE for the maximum number of connections when downloading more than 2 files at the same time.
9. If the “Advanced” tab is missing in the properties of the Internet Explore browser, then this fix will help solve this problem.
10. And the last paragraph translates as “Problems with your Internet connection? Restore Winsock (Reset Directory)." (This fix fixes the dll library responsible for connecting to the Internet if it was damaged).

Internet

This Fixwin tab contains a list of problems related to your Internet connection. I will not consider all the points now, since half of them relate to the IE browser. It's unlikely that you use it.

This section contains buttons for running diagnostics of various components of your computer. It makes no sense to translate it so as not to lengthen the video. Moreover, if you click on any of the buttons, a diagnostic launch window will open in Russian and you will be able to read what diagnostics will be performed.

Errors in Windows 10, reasons for their occurrence and ways to fix them

Errors have their causes and effects, but not all of them can be easily eliminated. For example, some problems can only be fixed by reinstalling the OS. There is also a small proportion of errors, the cause of which is a malfunction of the hardware of the computer or laptop devices. In this case, you cannot do without the service center technicians.

If any error occurs in Windows 10, you need to check your hard drives for virus-infected files. To do this, you need to use more than one antivirus program and conduct a thorough system scan.

If we are talking about non-critical system errors, then first of all you need to understand the principle of treating the problem. The Windows Event Log can help you decipher the error code, providing information about the service that is experiencing the problem, as well as information about the problem that occurred.
