Today, Microsoft has launched a new windows 11 update, new version that little by little is releasing new features and debugging its operation. Chrome, for its part, has also had to emergency update its web browser to protect users from a critical zero-day browser crash. However, there are also other news and curiosities that have remained in the pipeline and that, now, we are going to summarize.
In Windows 10 everything fails, even the calculator
When we use Windows we can expect anything to fail. The browser, the antivirus, the operating system itself can fail … the possibilities are immense, since they are very complex programs that, for many reasons, can end up causing an exception. However, there are two programs that, because of their simplicity, we would never have expected to fail. We talk about the calculator and the notepad. Or rather, just from the notepad.
A Reddit user began to notice an unusual number of error logs in Windows. When investigating these failures it has been possible to realize that the person responsible for them was the simple Windows calculator.
For some unknown reason, the calculator has started to cause critical errors in the system, to the point of interfering with some modules of the system. Windows kernel. If we can no longer trust the calculator, what will not fail in Windows 10?
