Windows is not installed. What to do if the application is not compatible with your Rockstar device your system is not suitable

Often, novice users, to save time and money, do. A user who is doing the installation for the first time may encounter problems and may wonder why Windows is not installing?. Operating Systems Windows families, are very popular and now you need to know for what reasons they may not be installed.

Incorrect BIOS setting.

Any clean install Windows starts by preparing the computer. At this stage, when you try to install Windows from a disk or flash drive, problems appear and nothing is installed. For everything to work, you need to set up the boot device that will read the Windows media. For example, if the installation will be performed from a DVD / CD, then the first device to boot should be a DVD / CD drive with an optical drive (disk)
If needed, then the first device to boot should be the flash drive itself, and more precisely USB HDD, USB Flash, USB Drive also in BIOS there may be a signature by the name of your flash drive or something similar, depending on the BIOS firmware version and model motherboard computer. Before saving the selected settings, you need to make sure that the floppy drive is disabled. You need to go to the "Standard CMOS Features" section, where you need to disable "Floppy - 1.44 or Drive A". Next, you need to save the settings, press F10 and YES. The computer will reboot and the system will start installing Windows from a disk or flash drive.
Even when installing from a USB flash drive, there may be problems with the type hard disk. On the modern computers the hard drive can operate in IDE AHCI and RAID modes. If you do not have a disk array raid, then we will analyze the rest of the settings. You can find these settings in the IDE configuration section. I recommend using the AHCI mode, but when installing Windows from old flash drives, an inscription about the lack of a driver may appear. If you have such a problem, switch to IDE mode and then the installation will proceed without errors. Learn more about BIOS settings.

Broken system image or damaged media.

Another persistent problem is the incorrect image capture with Windows. Bad disc (blank disc), damaged DVD / CD drive through which Windows was recorded. The same can be with a flash drive - broken memory or faulty USB ports on the mainland. It also happens that the equipment is working properly and is working correctly, and the image itself is damaged initially even before the moment of recording, for example, it is under-downloaded or even damaged when uploading to the site. In this case, you need to have several Windows images on hand, on different drives. You can try installing the operating system using another drive, for example, an external one. Use a variety of methods to install Windows and your device to achieve your goal of installing Windows by exclusion.

Damaged computer hardware.

Another problem is the failure of the computer hardware. It could be a damaged motherboard, video card, HDD, RAM, power supply and processor.
It is necessary to carry out. Locate the damaged part and replace or repair it. There are many tests for this that don't need an OS. You can check the motherboard, processor and video card with the PC Test utility. Winchester can be checked by the program HDD Regenerator. RAM using the MemTest utility. The power supply can be checked through the BIOS or just physically.

Outdated PC hardware

Here I think everything is clear if the hardware of the computer does not meet the minimum system requirements to install Windows, you won't be able to install it. For example, to install Windows 10, you must have at least 1GB on your computer random access memory, hard disk space of at least 16GB, processor frequency must be at least 1 GHz. The video card must support DirectX 9.0c. It is clear that such a computer will not be able to provide comfortable work. Therefore, for normal operation, a multi-core processor with a frequency of more than 1.6 GHz and 2 GB of RAM is required. Sometimes all parameters may be suitable except video or sound card. For example, many still have ATI Radeon x700 video cards with 256 or 512 MB of memory. It seems to be not very old video cards. But they don't have DirectX 9.0c support. They support DirectX 9.0b but can no longer work on Windows 8, 8.1 and 10. Carefully study all the characteristics of your computer before Windows installation to meet system requirements. And if they fit, only then start the installation.

What else might cause Windows not to install?

Old motherboard BIOS boards or video cards. Update them.
Disconnected loop or power, check the connection of all loops and cables.
Conflicting Parts - network cards, sound cards, TV tuners and the like.
Assemblies of Windows, many download assemblies of operating systems and try to install them. Such operating systems, often, simply cannot be installed on certain computers. Use pure original Windows images to install and then you should not have any problems.
  1. Buying new computer with Intel Kaby Lake processor, Qualcomm 8996 and AMD Bristol Ridge or newer if you wish to install operating system Windows 7,8,8.1 you will encounter a warning that will be shown when searching for updates:
  2. Unsupported hardware
  3. Your PC is using a processor designed for the latest version of Windows. Since the processor is not supported with the version of Windows you are currently using, your system will miss important security updates.
  4. It is also possible that the update center will show an error due to which it is not possible to search for updates:
  5. Windows could not find new updates
  6. An error occurred while checking for updates for your computer.
  7. Errors found:
  8. Code 80240037 Windows Update encountered an unknown error.
  9. Thus, the only proven solution that Microsoft offers is to install the latest version of the operating system. Windows systems 10. Which can be downloaded from the official website.

  23. Microsoft Official Blog.
  24. More than one article on this subject has been posted on the official Microsoft blog. We warned in advance about the problems of incompatibility, let's say, these processors and operating systems below 10. Translation of an article from the official Microsoft blog:
  25. Earlier this year, we shared information about Windows 10 with silicon innovation and our collaboration with partners to achieve breakthroughs in performance, imaging, connectivity, power, graphics and more, as Windows platform develops with them. At the time, we shared our commitment to safety, reliability and compatibility with our installed base.
  26. Enterprise customers are moving to Windows 10 faster than any version of Windows. At the same time, we recognize that in some cases customers have multiple systems that require longer deployment times. We listened to this feedback and today we are publishing an update to our support policy on the 6th Generations of Intel Core (Skylake). * We extended the support period from July 17, 2018 until the end of support dates for Windows 7 and Windows 8.1; And we will provide all the necessary security updates. This policy change primarily applies to our commercial customers who currently manage deployments with Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 and does not apply to customers running Windows control 10.
  27. Windows 7 is in extended support today, and support will end for Windows 7 on January 14, 2020, and support for Windows 8.1 will end on January 10, 2023. 6th generation Intel Core devices for Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 will be supported by all applicable security updates until the end Windows support 7 and Windows 8.1. This change is made possible through a strong partnership with our OEM partners and Intel, who will test validate and update security updates for the 6th Gen. Intel systems Core running Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 through end of support dates. As reported earlier this year, future silicon platforms, including the Intel 7th Gen Intel Core (Kaby Lake) processor family and AMD 7th Gen processors (such as Bristol Ridge), will only be supported on Windows 10, and for all future releases on silicon processors will require latest version Windows 10.
  28. This change is designed to help our customers purchase modern hardware with confidence while continuing to manage their Windows 10 migrations. There are currently over 350 million devices on Windows 10 and over 135 billion hours of usage since launch, when deployed corporate clients Windows 10 to devices every day. We recommend that customers update these 6th generation Intel Core systems to Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 as soon as possible so they can enjoy full support along with the great improvements that come from running modern hardware with modern software.
  29. More information on this topic can be found
  30. * Applies to Windows 7, Windows 8.1 and Windows Embedded 7, 8, 8.1.

  32. Methods for correcting incompatibility.

    Installing a patch to fix incompatibility:

  33. Of course, lovers of bored versions of Windows such as 7 have found a way out on this moment it can be downloaded from Github by user zeffy. I will give all the links below at the end of the article, and this time there is not much about the script. If you download the script from home page Zeffy on GitHub then in the downloads you will find an archive, it will contain files not compiled, this is not what you need. Such an archive is suitable for those who want to see for themselves what is inside the installation file or add their own fixes and then compile. To install a patch, you need to go to the page with releases, the author updates and supplements them, you can even see that the patch versions are changing. although, to be honest, I didn’t constantly look into the code and didn’t observe it, but thank you very much that there is such a patch and let’s not talk about sad things. We go to the page with releases and select the release you need, for your system and bit depth, let me remind you if someone forgot x32 and x64 bit depth. After you download the release you need, run the file for execution, it will be downloaded one if for Windows and have msi extension setup file. The full name for x64 bit Windows will be "wufuc_setup_x64.msi" without quotes. Install in the usual way like all programs in Windows, everything is simple. Yes, if you did not find the page with releases, you can get to it by clicking on the button at the end of the article "Download Wufuc from GitHub"
  34. How does this wufuc script from Zeffy work?

  35. AT system file called wuaueng.Dll, there are two functions responsible for checking the processor: IsDeviceServiceable (are invalidated) and IsCPUSupported (are invalidated). IsDeviceServiceable calls IsCPUSupported, then reuses the result in repetitive processor compatibility checks. The wufuc patch exploits this behavior by fixing booleans, Windows update thinks it has already checked the processor and the result is that your processor is supported by the system.
  36. During the installation process, a task is created in Windows that automatically launches the wufuc patch when the user logs in, then, depending on the settings of the center Windows updates, wufuc will wait for updates.
  37. When updates arrive on your computer, wufuc patch injects into LoadLibraryExW via Windows Api and automatically hooks IsDeviceServiceable() inside Wuaueng.dll
  38. Also RegQueryValueExW is needed to provide UpdatePack7R2 compatibility.
  39. Update removal method:

  40. The incompatibility message appears due to the installation of an update through Windows Update. Let's look at how to uninstall and which updates to remove.
  41. To remove installed update, open command prompt as administrator. AT command line we type the following command:
  42. wusa /uninstall /kb:4015550
  43. We confirm Enter. Next, another update, delete the same command:
  44. wusa /uninstall /KB:4012218
  45. Confirm Enter again.
  46. Then we do more with: KB4022719, KB4015549, KB4038777, KB4041686, the same thing.
  47. We hide these updates from the installation in the future.

    Disable the Diagnostics Tracking Service:

  48. It is possible that the Diagnostics Tracking Service is installed and running on the system.
  49. Disable it by stopping it in advance and choosing to start manually or disabled. This service has been renamed and all options can be found in the telemetry article. I advise you to disable telemetry so that the sent data about your computer device is processed as little as possible and unnecessary updates arrive as little as possible. But disabling does not help in all cases, and then only when the incompatibility is fixed and so that it does not occur again, we disable telemetry and perform other methods described in the article.
  50. Not all options may work, so I advise you to try each and stop at the working one. Why don't all options work? Because they are different and perform different fixes. Of course, so that such errors do not occur, there is another option is to change the processor or operating system.
  51. Some services have been renamed, want to see an update on turning off telemetry? Go to the full article by clicking on the link below:

  58. Since we are talking about Windows support. I suggest you visit the page where you can find information about support for any of the products and find out the end of receiving updates.

When searching for what you need, it is especially unpleasant to find a program that is completely suitable for requests, which instead of a download button gives out: "The application is incompatible with your device." Not to say that this causes panic, but an unpleasant aftertaste remains. Even more annoying when there is no other suitable application. How to proceed? What is the reason?

Why does such an error appear?

The phrase "the application is incompatible with your device" Android writes in several cases:

  1. Outdated firmware version. "Android" continues to evolve, applications are trying to keep up with it.
  2. Location. Some developers put a restriction on the installation of their program in a particular country.
  3. Low performance smartphone. The developers believe that your device simply will not be able to function normally with this game or program.

No matter how scary such reasons may sound, in principle, they are all “treated”.

APK files

Such files are suitable if the Play Market itself blocks downloading to your device. You can download APK files both on your own and by asking someone who understands such issues.

In order to install the application, first you need to visit the settings. There, in the "Security" section, near the "Unknown sources" subsection, check the box, thereby enabling the device to install applications not only from the "Market".

After the done operations, just open the APK file as you would with a photo or a music track. Then click "Next", and when the installation is completed, "OK" - and use the program to the fullest.

In order to carry out this operation, it is not necessary to have extended rights, that is, rooting. The only thing they may be needed for is to copy the APK file from the device on which this application already installed.

The disadvantage of this method of solving the problem of application incompatibility may be that the program will not be updated through the "Market", and as a result, if it comes out a new version, all the manipulations described above (except for the security settings) will need to be done again.

Market Helper App

This program is not located in the "Market" and works only on devices with accessibility. An app won't make your phone better or smarter. The essence of the program is that it changes your identification and "Market" believes that your device is actually from a different manufacturer or model. What's more, Market Helper lets you change your location data from the comfort of your couch. This is ideal for applications not available in your region.

Principle Market installations Helper is the same as with APK files. Once the installation and setup is complete, the “app is not compatible with your device” error should be gone.

Regional restrictions

If the app is not compatible with your device due to restrictions imposed by the area you are in, use VPN tunnel routing. This method will allow you to transfer you to another country in which the router server is installed. Of course, this method is not as reliable as using the program described above, but it's still worth a try. In addition, this method does not require root rights, which is undoubtedly an advantage.

conclusions

Each of these methods does not guarantee success. In some cases, it is necessary to force clear the cache in the "Market". To do this, you need to stop it through the settings, clear the data, start the Market Helper or VPN and re-enable the "Market" itself. Remember that any changes to the settings are made by you at your own peril and risk.

Now you will not see the message "The application is not compatible with your device." What to do if your loved ones have it, you already know.
