Windows Error Messages IDs

Windows Error Messages IDs is a small-sized and portable software tool that contains an offline database with numerous error messages and their descriptions. It comes in handy for those trying to figure out the meaning of various blue screen messages on their computers.

Doesn't need installation

There is no setup kit involved. Instead, the tool's packed in a single executable file that can be saved anyplace on the disk or moved to a USB flash drive to seamlessly launch it on any machine with as little effort as possible. It doesn't add new records to the Windows registry or generate additional files on the HDD without asking for permission.

Examine Windows error messages

When it comes to the interface, Windows Error Messages IDs opts for a standard window with a plain and simple look, making it evident that the utility is outdated. You can explore an extensive list of available drivers, numbered 1 through 14080.
Some examples include "The supplied assembly identity is missing one or more attributes which must be present in this context" (error 14079), "The UPS service is about to perform the final shutdown" (error 5153), "The data type is not supported by the print processor" (error 2167), and "Not enough storage is available to process this command" (error 8).
Unfortunately, there is no search function integrated for quickly looking up a distinct message by error code or vice versa.

Evaluation and conclusion

As we anticipated from such a compact utility, it had minimal impact on the computer's performance, running on low CPU and RAM. Although it hasn't been updated for considerable time, we haven't experienced any stability issues on newer OS editions. On the other hand, the offline database of Windows Error Messages IDs doesn't contain the latest error codes, which makes it somewhat redundant for newer Windows.
