The “ntoskrnl.exe” file is also known as the kernel image. The letters of the file name stands for “Windows NT operating system kernel.” The program’s function is to provide the kernel and executive layers of the Windows NT kernel space. It is the program responsible for different system services like hardware virtualization, process, and memory management. Because of these functions, it is the most vital part of the system.

If this program is damaged, try following the instructions in the previous post to possibly restore the file. You may also try running the System File Checker tool. Click “Start,” “All Programs,” “Accessories” then right-click “Command Prompt” and select “Run as administrator.” In the command prompt, type without quotes “sfc /scannow” then hit Enter. Insert your Windows setup CD on your optical drive in case you are prompted.

When it is finished, restart your computer. See if this works. If none of these worked, you need to reinstall your operating system.
