Title: Weird unidentified application error
Post by: RedSkeleton007 on June 26, 2015, 07:18:11 AM
This error popped up out of nowhere on my computer:

Since it's referring to an instruction and memory addresses, it smells very much like assembly, so I'm curious. In general, what is that trying to tell me?

It's a buggy application but has nothing to do with assembler. Microsoft wants to convince you of the qualities of Windows 10, that's all :eusa_boohoo:

It means that a bad pointer was referenced and caused a write to memory address 0x00000024 - which failed in this case because it wasn't allocated to the process; probably a bad pointer passed to a DLL function.

All programs ultimately run in machine code because that's the only thing the CPU understands; assembler has a very close relation to machine code, but the original program could have been written in any language (which was then compiled to machine code.)

QuoteGWXUX.EXE is related to "Get Windows 10″ ads program..
Doesn't this inspire confidence in MSofts ability  :biggrin:

You feel good to me when I came into this site.

What has this to do with that thread and with assembly language in general? I think you are another substandard spam bot.
