Your system doesn't fit rockstar. What to do if the app is not compatible with your device

1. When buying a new computer with an Intel Kaby Lake processor, Qualcomm 8996 and AMD Bristol Ridge or newer, if you want to install the Windows 7,8,8.1 operating system, you will encounter a warning that will be shown when looking for updates:
2. Not Supported Hardware
3. Your PC uses a processor designed for the latest version of Windows. Since the processor is not supported along with the version of Windows you are currently using, your system will miss important security updates.
4. It is also possible that an error will be shown in the update center 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 has encountered an unknown error.
9. Thus, the only proven solution that Microsoft offers is to install the latest version of the Windows 10 operating system, which can be downloaded from the official website.

Microsoft Official Blog.

22. On the official Microsoft blog, more than one article has been posted on this matter. We warned in advance about incompatibility problems, let's say these processors and operating systems below 10. Translation of an article from the official Microsoft blog:
23. Earlier this year, we shared Windows 10 with silicon innovation and our collaboration with partners to achieve breakthroughs in performance, imaging, connectivity, power, graphics, and more as the Windows platform evolves with them. At the time, we shared our commitment to safety, reliability, and compatibility with our established base.
24. Enterprise customers are migrating to Windows 10 faster than any version of Windows. At the same time, we recognize that in some cases, customers have multiple systems requiring longer deployment times. We've heard this feedback and are posting an update to our 6th Gen Intel Core (Skylake) support policy today. * We have 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 management 10.
25. 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 of support for Windows 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 6th Gen Intel Core systems running Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 until the end of support dates. As reported earlier this year, Future Silicon Platforms, including the 7th Gen Intel Core processor family (Kaby Lake) and 7th Gen AMD processors (such as Bristol Ridge), will only be supported on Windows 10, while all future releases on silicon processors will require latest version Windows 10.
26. This change is intended to help our customers purchase modern hardware with confidence while continuing to manage their migrations to Windows 10. There are currently over 350 million devices on Windows 10 and over 135 billion hours of use since launch when deployed. corporate clients Windows 10 to devices every day. We recommend that customers update these 6th Gen Intel Core systems to Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 as soon as possible so that they can get full support along with the big improvements that come from running modern hardware with modern software.
27. More information on this topic can be found
28. * Applies to Windows 7, Windows 8.1 and Windows Embedded 7, 8, 8.1.

Methods for fixing incompatibility.

Installing a patch to fix incompatibility:

30. Of course, lovers of boring versions of Windows such as 7 found a way out and at the moment it can be downloaded from Github from user zeffy. I will give all the links below at the end of the article, and now 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 that are not compiled, this is not what you want. 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 the patch, you need to go to the page with releases, the author updates and supplements them, you can even see that the versions of the patch are changing. although to be honest, I did not constantly look into the code and did not observe, but many thanks for having such a patch and let's not talk about sad things. Go to the page with releases and select the release you need, for your system and bit rate, let me remind you if anyone has forgotten the bit rate of x32 and x64. After you download the release you need, run the file for execution, it will be downloaded one if for Windows and have the extension msi installation 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"

How does this Zeffy wufuc script work?

31. AT system file under the name wuaueng.Dll there are two functions responsible for checking the processor: IsDeviceServiceable (invalidated) and IsCPUSupported (invalidated). IsDeviceServiceable calls IsCPUSupported, then reuses the result in a repetitive process that checks for processor compatibility. The wufuc patch exploits this behavior by fixing booleans, Windows update thinks it has already checked the processor and your processor is supported by the system.
32. 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.
33. When the updates arrive on your computer, the wufuc patch will inject into LoadLibraryExW via Windows Api and will automatically hook IsDeviceServiceable () inside Wuaueng.dll
34. Also RegQueryValueExW is needed to provide compatibility with UpdatePack7R2.

Update removal method:

35. An incompatibility message appears due to the installation of an update through Windows Update. Let's take a look at how to uninstall and what updates to uninstall.
36. To remove an installed update, open a command prompt as administrator. AT command line we type the following command:
37. wusa / uninstall / kb: 4015550
38. We confirm Enter. Further, one more update is removed with the same command:
39. wusa / uninstall / KB: 4012218
40. Confirm Enter again.
41. Then we do more with: KB4022719, KB4015549, KB4038777, KB4041686, the same thing.
We hide these updates from the installation in the future.

Disable the Diagnostics Tracking Service:

42. It is possible that the Diagnostics Tracking Service is installed and running in the system.
43. Disable it by stopping it in advance and selecting manual start 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.
44. The options may not work for all, so I advise you to try each and stay 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 arise, there is another option is to change the processor or operating system.
45. Some services have been renamed, would you like to see updated data on disabling telemetry? Go to the full article by clicking on the link below:

From the Author:

49. Speaking of 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.

In search of the necessary, it is especially unpleasant to find a program that is completely suitable for requests, which, instead of a download button, issues: "The application is incompatible with your device." Not to say that it causes panic, but an unpleasant residue remains. It is even more annoying when there is no other suitable application. How to proceed? What is the reason?

Why does this 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 place restrictions on the installation of their program in a particular country.
3. Low smartphone performance. The developers believe that your device simply will not be able to function properly with this game or program.

No matter how scary such reasons 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 independently 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, next to the "Unknown Sources" subsection, put a check mark, 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 music track. Then click "Next", and upon completion of the installation "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 might 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 incompatibility of applications 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 security settings) will need to be done again.

Market Helper app

This program is not in the "Market" and only works on devices with accessibility. The app won't make your phone better or smarter. The essence of the program is that it changes your identification and the "Market" considers that your device is actually from another manufacturer or other model. What's more, Market Helper allows you to change your geolocation data from the comfort of your couch. This is ideal for applications not available in your area.

The principle of installing Market Helper is the same as with aPK files... After the installation and configuration is complete, the “application is not compatible with your device” error should disappear.

Regional restrictions

If the app is incompatible with your device due to restrictions imposed by the area you are in, use VPN tunnel routing. This method will transfer you to another country where the server router is installed. Of course, this method is not as reliable as using the program described above, but it's still worth trying. In addition, no root is required for this method, which is undoubtedly a merit.

conclusions

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

Now you will not see the message “the application is incompatible with your device”. You already know what to do if your loved ones have it.

Incorrect BIOS setup.

Broken system image or damaged media.

The hardware of the computer is damaged.

Outdated PC hardware
