kernel
39 TopicsComputer continuously crashing, different errors.
Previously imaged on windows 11 my computer would crash from time to time. Often when left along and not in active use. Tried playing a video to see if that would keep it up but it did not. After a while my computer stopped turning on going into a constant loop of the errors below. first 3 being blue screen and last being a pop up that would come up instead of a login screen. I tried to re image the computer but i continued to receive blue screen alerts. After looking up the alerts I saw it may be related to a RAM issue so I tested the RAM sticks 1 by 1, bought new RAM but still had the same issue. I brought it to a tech store which stated it seemed to be a problem with the ssd. i purchased a new SSD, installed windows 10 this time but still seem to be having issues with blue screen though not as often. Currently running into an issue where I've downloaded the below update, computer is pending restart but it never installs on updated. Seeking any help with this. 2025-10 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 22H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5066791) Attempted_execute_of_noexecute_MEMORY IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL ntoskrnl.exer pop up: sign-in process initialization failure ; interactive sign-in process initialization has failed. please check the event log for details.14Views0likes1CommentDPS service
Hi, a { text-decoration: none; color: #464feb; } tr th, tr td { border: 1px solid #e6e6e6; } tr th { background-color: #f5f5f5; } I’m wondering whether I can intentionally create a failure scenario that the Diagnostic Policy Service (DPS) would be able to troubleshoot—perhaps something related to memory, power, USB, or audio. I’d like to verify whether DPS is actively detecting and troubleshooting these types of errors in Windows. Thank you so much in advance!

We need a feature that makes us customize the cursor roles (below)! Because Linux has more cursor roles, we cannot customize them in Windows. Cursor Roles Suggested: No drop - arrow with a no sign overlay Column Resize - horizontal resize but for grid resizing Row Resize - vertical resize but for grid resizing Vertical text - I-beam rotated 90 degrees Grab - open hand Grabbing - closed hand Cell - bold plus sign Copy - arrow with a plus overlay Alias - arrow with an iron chain overlay Zoom In - magnifying glass with plus sign overlay Zoom Out - magnifying glass with minus sign overlay Tags/Keywords: pointer, cursor, mouse, customizable, custom44Views0likes0CommentsAllow developers to create their own user space
It would be wonderful if Microsoft and the windows team documented how developers could create their own userspace. The NT Kernel was designed for this, and it would allow better extensibility of the overall OS. It also would be a way to partial opensource Windows. You could license the kernel at a low price, and let others build the user space. This would be in the vain of the original WSL, but it would allow any developer skilled enough to bring enhancements to the system.45Views0likes0CommentsConnection Refused at TCP/IP Level
Guys, i have a web application running on Windows 2025. Occasionally, the application experiences bursts of over 500 simultaneous connections. Even though, the server showing less than 10% CPU utilization and about 75% of RAM still available, I am encountering "connection refused" errors. I can see Windows Performance counter TCPv4 / Connection Failures change when this happens. There is no antivirus deployed during my test, and Windows defender is off. i have seen similar issues on Windows 2019 and 2022 also. I suspected SynAttack detection, but the TCP diagnostic counters for SynAttack detection dont know any values. It appears to me that there is some Windows OS limitation that causes this issue. Does anybody encounter this situation before?735Views0likes5CommentsWindows Research Kernel Bring it Back!
I think it is time to revive the Windows Research Kernel! We need the community to be able to understand what is going on without letting everything out of the bag. The last version available was v1.2 which was based off of the kernel for Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 SP2. We need a modern release for development, education, and security research. Who is with me?845Views1like0Comments
