Windows 10 Analyzes and Measures Before the Repair

If something is wrong with the PC, Windows is not always to blame immediately. The first consideration should be: What changes were there just before the problem appeared? Distinguish between strange Windows error messages, Windows Explorer crashes or shorter system hangers. Software is mostly responsible for this. In the event that blue screens appear or Windows completely freezes, it is usually due to the hardware itself or faulty drivers.

Possible causes of software problems are faulty Windows updates, new drivers, newly installed software or malware. The path therefore leads first into the system control and "Programs and Features". With a click on the column head "Installed on" you sort the list according to the date. Uninstall the most recently set up software or a driver package if they are likely to cause the problem. Next, click on “View Installed Updates”. This list can also be sorted by date and you can uninstall the last update.

Unwanted software: An alternative is IObit Uninstaller Portable, which uninstalles software more thoroughly and also removes browser toolbars and other unwanted software. ADW Cleaner and Avast Browser Cleanup specialize in tracking down and eliminating toolbars and browser extensions. Although these do not affect the stability of the system, they can slow down browsers, lead to incorrect search results or show additional advertising.

Hardware shortcomings: If errors cannot be attributed to software, the causes of an unstable system can also be due to insufficient cooling of the processor or graphics card or defective memory modules. The cooling can be easily checked by paying attention to fan noise or opening the PC and checking that the fans run smoothly. It is often sufficient to clean the fan and interior carefully with a vacuum cleaner and a brush. If that doesn't help, replace the affected fan. You can test the memory modules with the incelemax.com emergency system, for example.

Select "Test main memory (RAM)" in the boot menu. This starts the Memtest86 memory check, which takes several hours to complete. You can carry out further tests by starting the Linux-based PC-WELT emergency system. Let it run for a while and use the included web browser to generate some system load. You then use the virus scanner of the emergency system for a malware check that is independent of the installed system. You can find detailed information on the incelemax.com emergency system here. If all tests were normal, the hardware is OK and you can continue with the Windows repair.

Backup copy: Before major repair work you should definitely make a backup, at least of your personal files. Almost all of the measures described in this article enable Windows repair without data loss. Nevertheless, under certain circumstances it cannot be ruled out that files will be damaged or deleted. For a complete backup you can use Disk Image & Clone from the Lazesoft Recovery Suite. Backup tools are also included with the incelemax.com emergency system. The bootable system enables data backup even when Windows no longer starts.
