Sometimes, the Windows 96 kernel just does not want to boot. There can be many reasons for this, some of which will require some manual diagnosis.
How kernel failures happen
A kernel failure can happen because of the following reasons:
- The target browser is not supported (too old or just incompatible).
- The loaded kernel is loading incompatible core libraries (can happen if an older kernel is cached).
- There is a kernel bug that the developers didn't discover yet.
- Mixing kernel versions.
- Missing system files.
- General kernel corruption.
Diagnosis
Generally, the recommended way to diagnose kernel errors is to check the DevTools console. This console can usually be triggered by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+I or F12, but this may differ per browser. The console will be able to state what went wrong during script execution. Please note that this error may not be understandable to non-developers, so you will likely have to consult the Windows 96 community for help.
Cache Mismatches
Often, kernel failures happen because of a cache mismatch. To fix this, clear the browser cache for Windows 96.
