Applications on a computing device provide notifications associated with the application to a notification system. A notification includes an identification of content to be presented for the notification and an indication of when the content is to be presented. The notification system presents the notification content at the appropriate time regardless of whether the application is executing and without resuming execution of the application if the application is not running. Various power efficiency techniques are also used to determine which notifications are presented and when a user interface is updated to reflect those notifications in order to avoid updating the user interface to reflect notifications that would not be observable (e.g., due to a power mode of the computing device).

When a user-mode inpage error occurs after the system has booted up, the inpage error handling method attempts to prevent future crashes by repairing the faulting file. The fault may be a corrupt file or may be a disk I/O problem. The next time the now-repaired file is requested, execution should continue normally.
