[Octavian]

Process of computer "not responding" appears in Windows 8.1. What is when a program is not responding, and how can prevent Windows from not responding?

There are a milion reasons why a process may not respond, depending on the type of process, such as .exe/.com/system etc..

It can be due to a failed driver, a corrupt .exe file, a missing .dll, a damaged program, etc...etc...

You can stop windows from not responding, by fixing the process which is causing the problem.

As well as what Scannan said do...Please 'End Process' via task manager,check services tab on Task Manager to make SURE the affected program has ALL instances removed...

 

Then re-start the Program/Service you want! :-D

Sometimes you get the not responding message because a process in front of it is running and it is not ready to run. Or you click to run it and while it is preparing to run, you click on it again.

I know this, I want to know how prevent computer from not responding. Is only one method (to end the task) when task is not responding?. Exist a special tool that prevent windows from not responding?

[Octavian]

I have renewed computer hardware and noticed that the'' not responding'' process was significantly decreased, so if hardware is powerful, programs respond better.

No Octavian,afraid not. :sad:

 

Best you can do other than all the above is keep drivers up to date,maintenance regularly....and REBOOT clears the cobwebs out! :wink:

Android OS has limitations. For example: it is not possible to run a firewall due to these limitations, apart from this there are limitations, what are they?

i had this a lot with IE so changed browser. try chkdsk, sfc/scannow, or use ASC and free up memory,and clear cache and temp files.

 

something has got corrupted often its memory related.

Hi All,

MS has come up with another system check. For W8/W8.1, (OEMs no longer ship W8)

for even better results

 

Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

 

into administrator command prompt & let it finish, then run sfc /scannow.

You need to check first what file is hanging up. If it keeps on repeating, something might be corrupt and that's the time that you will search online for the file that is affected. Causes could be a lot of things. But it solely depend on which file is affected.

Files are not corrupted, but I observe that responding of tasks depends on the computer hardware and depends from version of installed program. For example I like Sfari browser for windows, this browser was not updated from 2012, I do not use this browser often but sometimes Safari is not responding.

Thank you for suggestion.

Command sfc /scannow is useful, exist other commands that repair windows errors, corrupted files, diagnose etc. ?

Have experienced this a couple of times and actually it is really frustrating the more when you are in the middle of a job that is needed to be done ASAP. I maybe one of the few who would rather use the hammer if things continuously not work as it should. But nonetheless, your advises/recommendation will be kept in mind. Thanks you!
