Scheduling, Thread Context, and IRQL
Scheduling, Thread Context, and IRQL December 31, 2020 Abstract This paper presents information about how thread scheduling, thread context, and a processor’s current interrupt request level (IRQL) affect the operation of kernel- mode drivers for the Microsoft® Windows® family of operating systems. It is intended to provide driver writers with a greater understanding of the environment in which their code runs. A companion paper, “Locks, Deadlocks, and Synchronization” at http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/hwdev/driver/LOCKS.mspx, builds on these fundamental concepts to address synchronization issues in drivers.

Understanding Windows 10 – a Guide to Help Get You Started Settings
Understanding Windows 10 – A Guide to Help Get you Started By Jim Hillier – July 14, 2015 https://davescomputertips.com/understanding-windows-10-a-guide-to-help-get-you-started/ Following an initial perusal of Windows 10 it appeared that Microsoft included a lot of changes merely for the sake of change, presumably to help expand the gap between Windows 8 and Windows 10. However, after spending more time working with the new operating system you will realize that statement is incorrect, and here’s why. Settings – The Windows 10 Nerve Center At the very heart of Windows 10 is the ―Settings‖ menu which provides the interface for managing how the operating system displays and behaves. Consequently, a number of previously easily accessible settings/options have been moved into the Settings menus for the sake of centralization. While this may well now force users to dig a little deeper in order to locate a particular setting, I can appreciate the logic behind it, everything in one place, and no fragmentation. Finding “Screen Resolution in Windows 10 For example: Accessing ―Screen Resolution‖ settings has long been a simple matter of selecting the option from the desktop right click menu. Now, in Windows 10, one needs to take a rather more convoluted path: 1. Click Start and then Settings 2. Click System, then click Display(the Display tab should open by default) 3. Click ―Advanced display settings‖ There it is! Adding Desktop Shortcuts to System Locations in Windows 10 This is another setting location that has changed and integrated into the all, encompassing Settings menu. -
