A technical error is a very common phenomenon not only in the world of computer technology, but also in everyday life, in production, and even in government regulatory bodies and institutions. But, since we are talking specifically about computer technology and everything that is connected with it, we will proceed from this aspect. It is immediately worth noting that the correction of a technical error of any kind is directly related to the reasons that caused it. It is naturally not possible to describe absolutely all possible situations, therefore, we restrict ourselves to considering the most common problems.
Technical error: how to understand this?
The very concept of such failures with warnings issued by computer systems cannot be interpreted from one universal point of view. Actually, the IT specialists themselves do not indicate an exact definition of this term.
Moreover, even the operating system, giving out a message like “Something went wrong. A technical error. Try to perform this or that action later ”, cannot exactly describe the essence of the problem (although it suggests familiarizing yourself with the possible causes of the failure - Learn more link with a redirect to the official technical support site).
On the other hand, you yourself can build a logical chain that could at least to some extent help determine the root cause of the failure in order to find the optimal solution to resolve it in the future.
The essence of the problem
If we consider situations when, due to a technical error, some problems arise with computer equipment or when working on the Internet, there are several main areas in which you will need to look for a way to fix the failure.
As a rule, the most common phenomena can be called errors due to incorrect functioning of the computer hardware and software failures. But this is the most general idea. But when the specialized software is functioning, the reason for the impossibility of performing certain operations can also be incorrectly entered technical information (an error in this case is just a consequence of initially incorrect user actions). This situation will be considered separately on the example of problems at the state level.
Possible causes of failures
As for the main reasons for the appearance of failures of any type at the household level, there can be a lot of them. Software failure or malfunctioning of computer components by an ordinary user is not always the main cause of failures.
So, for example, if we talk about Internet surfing or using some services, it may turn out that problems with the same access to the Network are observed by the provider. In some cases, the online services themselves may also be inoperative.
Thus, if a technical error was made precisely because of the above reasons, the easiest way to find out the nature of the failure and possible methods to correct the situation is to contact a special support service by calling or using another computer or mobile device from which You can connect to the Internet.
Programs in which technical errors are most often encountered
Now a few words about the software. In general, as many have probably noticed for a long time, today it is quite difficult to find at least one application that never crashes. No matter how powerful and good the program may be, even the mere exposure to a virus or malicious code can disable it instantly.
But, a technical error is a slightly different interpretation from the point of view of user programs installed on a computer. Here the circle of potentially failed applications can be narrowed.
First of all, if a technical error is related to computer hardware, you should immediately pay attention to the status of the drivers of all installed devices. They may need to be reinstalled or updated, because the programs that access them at the time of launch (or even the operating system itself) cannot use them in their work or even simply initialize them. To do this, you can use special disks with drivers that should be supplied when purchasing a computer device, or pay attention to various specialized utilities that allow you to install or update drivers automatically without explicit participation of the system user in this process (Driver Booster, DriverPack Solution other).
Computer games, accounting programs, web browsers, antiviruses, and even entire office suites are equally at risk of failures (in particular, you can often encounter the appearance of such problems with Microsoft Office releases 2003 and 2007).
The easiest way to fix technical issues
As for the answer to the question of how to fix a technical error, today there is no single universal solution.
However, as it is believed (and this is confirmed by many users in various forums), when a message appears in any program (no matter what direction), the very first step can be the correct completion of a failed application and a complete reboot of the computer system. Perhaps the technical error was of the nature of a short-term failure and will not appear again when restarted.
Browser issues
If we talk about modern browsers used for Internet surfing and do not take into account the possible effects of viruses, in most cases the problem can be due to the fact that they either do not have the necessary add-ons (extensions), such as Flash Player, or too many add-ons are included, which is why conflicts arise due to services blocking each other.
As already clear, you need to use the add-ons section and for starters just turn off everything that is not used in the work. In extreme cases, you can try to enter the site or service through a different browser than the one installed in the system by default (for example, use Opera or Chrome instead of Edge in Windows 10). But using Mozilla Firefox recently is not recommended, since recent versions of the browser themselves have a huge number of problems in work (this is confirmed by most of his fans).
By the way, in connection with the recent events in Ukraine, technical problems that arise when accessing Russian sites, services and social networks can be eliminated by enabling the VPN function in browsers or by installing the Tor browser.
Microsoft Office Suite Troubleshooting
No less often, a technical error may appear in Microsoft office suites. There are several solutions here.
First of all, you can use the “Office” recovery through the appropriate package control panel, perform a complete removal and reinstallation of the package, or use the standalone Office 365 modification installer, which requires only access to the Internet (software is not installed on the user computer).
Technical error: what is this in games?
With modern or outdated games, the situation is somewhat more complicated. Here I’ll fly off like that right away, and you won’t tell what the problem may be (in the game itself or in the hardware).
But an example is the commonly used error correction technique. So, for example, in the game Battlefield 4, when the start window appears through RMB, you can call up the menu in which there is a line to fix the installation.
In the Black Desert application, oddly enough, the problem is eliminated by activating the GameNet client’s participation in testing, which is located in the general settings. And such examples can be given for a very long time.
Possible failures in payment systems
Failures in payment systems are also not uncommon. However, in the case of online services like Yandex.Money or Privat24, the essence of the problem lies mainly in the browsers that are used to log in. It is enough to change the browser and try to log in again.
Sometimes the services themselves may not work, even if the user correctly enters the username and password. Here you will have to contact the support service, and at the same time find out the capabilities of your own wallet. In the case of Yandex, without official registration with the provision of notarized copies of documents, it is impossible to make money transfers or pay by card in the store.
Another thing is stationary programs like WebMoney Keeper. One of the solutions to fix the problem is updating the application (by the way, at startup, the program itself offers to download a new version). But here you need to pay attention to the moment that the system must have special key files in the KWM format. If they are not, wallets will have to be restored, following the instructions of the system.
Error correction methodology as an example of a cadastral passport
Finally, the technical errors include the impossibility of carrying out some actions due to the carelessness of state and other office workers. Consider the situation by the example of the appearance of technical errors of the cadastral passport.
Since information about the real estate or the owner’s data could initially have been entered incorrectly (typos, mismatch of the electronic registry with cadastral documents or something else), register the real estate or take any other action, for example, when the property is rented out or it’s buying / selling the software will not execute.
What is most sad, as a rule, ordinary employees, although they have access to the software at the client level, cannot change the settings. In addition, such technical errors can only be corrected if the letter of the law is observed. In particular, correction can be made only by the relevant cadastral registration body (CMO) on the basis of a statement from an individual or legal entity, on the initiative of the CMO employees who have identified the problem, and by a court decision (based on a judicial act).
As you can see, the procedure is quite troublesome. And this is just one example. But how many more situations can be brought about involving inattention of office workers or public servants.
Conclusion
In conclusion, it remains to say that not all the causes and consequences of the appearance of technical errors related to the computer world were considered here. If you dig a little deeper, you will notice that the life of a modern layman is so computerized that it is possible to meet situations related to technical failures in almost all areas of activity. But above, only a small part of the failures that ordinary users most often encounter was considered. And here, the possible technical aspects related to software or some kind of equipment were not particularly addressed. But the appearance of errors on this basis cannot be discarded either.
