Windows 10: Array bounds exceeded

I am no expert in computer science,just a hard working slob that tries to understand and is fascinated by all things computing...I have seen something new tonight...when trying to open settings I get this "array bounds exceeded" message,and when I search for an answer,these guys are talking a language I cannot fathom..Please can some kind soul explain in simple terms what it means,and how to make it go away...thank-you.

Mic Array does not work in my HP IQ816

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

We would be glad to help you with the issue you are facing today. I understand the difficulty with the problem.

Issue: Mic Array

Method: 1

Step: 1

Hardware & devices troubleshooter.

• Press “Windows key + W” and type “troubleshooting”.
• Select “Troubleshooting”.
• Select “View all” on the top left corner.
• Click “hardware & devices”.
• Follow the on-screen instruction to run the troubleshooter.

Step: 2

I would suggest you to contact the manufacturer website to download latest available drivers.



Issue: unable to print

The issue you have reported usually occurs if the drivers needed for the device are not installed properly or if the drivers are not compatible with the Operating System.

If the drivers for the device are not yet available for Windows 10, hence I suggest you to reinstall them in compatibility mode.

Follow the steps below to install the driver in compatibility mode and see if it helps:

• Right click on the setup file of the driver and select
  Properties
• Select Compatibility Tab
• Place a check mark next to Run this program in Compatibility mode and select the operating system accordingly from the drop down list
• Click OK and run the setup.

I would suggest you to visit manufacturer's website and install the latest available driver for the device in

compatibility mode.

Hope this helps in resolving the issue. If issue persists, do get back to us. We will be happy to assist you.



Thank you. ]

You are right, Aquinus, but it is implimentation dependant. You know this, but I'll add the details for anyone else who might read this ...

2D arrays are faster if the upper limit of the array is know before hand (count the number of files prior to creating the array), so no array resizing has to occur.
String[] myArray = new String[500];

Generic List<> is also faster if the bounds are known
List<string> myList = new List<string>(500) as opposed to just initializing an empty List.
The .net implementation of Lists is actually using an array behind the scenes.

Using for loops on both Lists and Arrays is faster than using foreach, but again the bounds needs to be know before hand.

Lists are a bit slower as they do bounds checking all the time, while in a predefined array no bounds checking is done (unless you code it yourself).
Lists also have a bit larger memory footprint than arrays.

The question then becomes is the performance increase enough to warrant the additional coding to impliment arrays over generic Lists. This is completely dependant upon the implimentation and what is occuring within the for loop. Complex calculations in the for loop may make the performance increase with arrays irrelevant (when each for iteration is analyzed).

Personally, I usually use Lists as the code is cleaner, but then I am rarely using them for thousands or millions of elements, and the difference would be some number of milliseconds.

On a side note, it looks to me like all the code is in the OP. Am I overlooking something?
