Part 1 What is a Runtime Error and what causes this Error?

The error that occurs during the execution of a program is called the ‘Windows Runtime Error’. When an application or any program cannot work to its full capacity due to a software or hardware error, we face this error. What causes further distress is the possibility of losing information in the file that is being currently operated. It can cause irreparable errors to your device, or even corrupt it, leaving you with nothing. However, this doesn’t stop an application from working, unlike the ‘Stop Errors’ that are usually encountered.
