4 Biggest Windows Problems (Detailed Info)

Windows has several well-known issues that can cause inconveniences for users. Here are four of the most severe Windows system issues:

1. Getting Windows Ready Stuck

The "Getting Windows ready. Don't turn off your computer" message appears when Windows is in the process of applying updates to your system. These updates can include new features, security patches, and other improvements. When the updates are being installed, it's important not to turn off your computer, as this can cause the updates to fail and create problems with your system.

Depending on the size and number of updates being installed, this process can take a few minutes or even an hour or more. Once the updates are installed, your computer will restart, and you'll be able to use it as usual.

WHEA uncorrectable error is a type of hardware error that can occur when your computer starts up. When the problem arises, your computer will typically display a blue screen with an error message like the following screenshot displays.

To fix the issue, you'll need to identify the cause. In most cases, it will either be an overheating processor, faulty memory, failing hard drive, or an improperly configured CPU.

A few things that can lead Windows 10 to refuse to shut down. One reason could be that there are still programs running in the background, even though it may appear that all programs have been closed. Windows 10 automatically updates itself, which can sometimes lead to the computer not shutting down properly. Still, power settings, corrupted system files, or BIOS can interfere with the shutting down process.

4. Blue Screen of Death

A blue screen of death (also known as a blue screen or BSOD) is an error screen that is displayed on a Windows computer system after a fatal system error. 

Blue screen of death errors are usually caused by hardware problems, such as faulty RAM, overheating components, or hardware that is not compatible with the rest of the system. Software errors can also result in BSOD when the software is not compatible with the hardware or if it is not properly configured. If you are getting Blue Screen of Death, it is crucial to find out what is causing them and fix the problem before it seriously damages your computer or even causes data loss.
