Season 1 Episode 1 received 50 views in a day, unlike his other videos (Microsoft Sam Reads the Windows XP BSOD, his most popular video, had 20 views in a single day). Ace received 14 subscribers after the release of that episode, which resulted in his subscriber count going from 15 to 29. The average length for each episode was 4-5 minutes. As of S1EP9, various animated backgrounds are used, at least 1-2 per episode. Back then, only still pictures were used, varying every few episodes. To date, the only complete episode reuploaded onto YouTube is [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dmr6VVstfEA S2EP3] (from superkeegan9100) as well as a low-quality clip from [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GT1jmgzVU8w S1EP10] (from TrickyMario7654).

'''Microsoft Sam Reads Funny Windows Errors''' is the series that really kickstarted Ace’s popularity. Running since February 2014, Sam goes on (mis)adventures while reading error boxes that can serve as gags, fortunes, headlines, warnings, snarks, etc. Viewers can submit their own to be used in future episodes, which are known as error requests. Over time, the series's tone faded from dense and wacky with emphasis on comedy, to a dramedy with emphasis on plot and story and with matured characters. As of late 2019 or January 2020, it's been confirmed that the series will be rebooted to be understandable and entertaining to people outside the TTS community. Publicly confirmed in [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GZA9hk2SI0 this announcement video], it and all of Ace's other TTSC-related series are cancelled altogether.
  
 
==Season 1==
 
==Season 1==
Episodes between S1EP1 and S1EP6 were uploaded in 1080p (The first standard 1080p video by AceOfSpadesProduc100 was the bridge between 2013 and 2014 with the Christmas and New Years video), and now in 1440p HD as of S1EP7. No episodes will be uploaded in 4K because of technical reasons. The quality returned to 720p as of Season 3 Episode 5.
+
This season is what started it all, and had some of the biggest gaps in content standards and quality out of any season. The first several episodes retained much of the quality and styles of videos from the previous year, and then started to shift away more as of episode 8.
  
 
===Main Plot===
 
===Main Plot===
Season 1 is mainly based on early [[Thunderbirds101]] FWE Seasons. The series dramatically shifted in original content in Episode 5, such as with the introduction to the earth rift, which was known as the "White Hole" at the time. [[Oxy Burgers]], a laxative, was introduced as a joke in Episode 8. In S1EP9, Sam played Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde for the NES, and again three seasons later. In S1EP10, the NSA Seizes itself again after Sam believed that the International Tacos Association was the work of the NSA, and Sam encounters the [[Moving Victoria Virus]]. In the season 1 finale, The Viacom V of Doom crashes the video, The Moving Victoria Virus Returns on Sam as well as the NSA Agent, and The ABC Clock Virus appears.
+
Only episodes 1-7 are still known today, until more episodes are reuploaded.

== Season 2 ==
Each episode may contain the same running gags as S1EP10 and Season 1 Finale. S2EP1 was released in October 23, 2014, S2EP2 in October 25. This was the only season with the shortest timeslots, with an episode released every 1 or 2 days.

Season 2 works a lot like Season 1. The Earth Rift returns after 7 months since S1EP5, and 1 month since S1EP10 and then the OS transitions reappears in S2EP4, since its introduction in S1EP1.

Season 2 works a lot like Season 1. The wormhole returns after seven months since S1EP5, and a month since S1EP10 and then S2EP4 brought back the OS-switching scene. Not much is known as episodes are still yet to be recovered, but the finale is a bump in animation during the battle scene between the Microsofts and the Scary Logos Clan.
  
 
==Season 3==
 
==Season 3==
Season 3 started in December 6, 2014 and was on hiatus when AOSP100 closed his account, the final episode of the series (S3EP4) was uploaded on December 23, 2014. He returned to YouTube with the release of Episode 5 in July 23, 2016. The release of episode 8 became the first time that an episode was released at the same day as the previous episode.
+
Season 3 started on December 6, 2014, ending the classical era at episode 4 after the closure of Ace's first account. After the series was brought back a year and a half later upon episode 5's release, the program used was changed to Blender, starting a brand new era of 3D-animated TTS content.
  
 
===Main Plot===
 
===Main Plot===
There was little during the beginning. Reading errors was primary until Episode 6 when the redesigned Earth Rift has appeared, becoming one of the most animated episode after the Season 2 Finale.
+
 
*In Episode 7, released in October 1, 2016 as well as Episode 8, the older concepts of AceOfSpadesProduc100's characters from 2014 has appeared to berate Sam for throwing them out in [[Microsoft Sam's CD-i Intro Bloopers|CD-I Intro Bloopers Episode IV]]. The Caveman AI and the Engrish AI were introduced afterwards.
 
*In Episode 8, the time travel sequence has reappeared since Season 2, late Season 1, or early Season 3. Surprisingly, for the first time since Season 2, this episode was created in less than a day, despite a lot of ideas written since September 17, 2016.
 
  
 
==Season 4==
 
==Season 4==
This season was the first to rely on errors from DeviantArt, particularly those from [http://fluffyferret97.deviantart.com FluffyFerret97].
+
This season ended the 3D era, and was filler for the first two episodes. Episode 3 was the biggest episode and eventually ended with a cliffhanger on Sam about to end up somewhere else than Earth 1's remains.

Microsoft Sam Reads Funny Windows Errors is the series that really kickstarted Ace’s popularity. Running since February 2014, Sam goes on (mis)adventures while reading error boxes that can serve as gags, fortunes, headlines, warnings, snarks, etc. Viewers can submit their own to be used in future episodes, which are known as error requests. Over time, the series's tone faded from dense and wacky with emphasis on comedy, to a dramedy with emphasis on plot and story and with matured characters. As of late 2019 or January 2020, it's been confirmed that the series will be rebooted to be understandable and entertaining to people outside the TTS community. Publicly confirmed in this announcement video, it and all of Ace's other TTSC-related series are cancelled altogether.

Season 1

This season is what started it all, and had some of the biggest gaps in content standards and quality out of any season. The first several episodes retained much of the quality and styles of videos from the previous year, and then started to shift away more as of episode 8.

Main Plot

Only episodes 1-7 are still known today, until more episodes are reuploaded.

Season 2

Each episode may contain the same running gags as S1EP10 and Season 1 Finale. S2EP1 was released on October 23, 2014, S2EP2 on October 25. This was the only season with the shortest timeslots, with an episode released every 1 or 2 days. Only episode 3 is still up as of 2019 September 9.

Main Plot

Season 2 works a lot like Season 1. The wormhole returns after seven months since S1EP5, and a month since S1EP10 and then S2EP4 brought back the OS-switching scene. Not much is known as episodes are still yet to be recovered, but the finale is a bump in animation during the battle scene between the Microsofts and the Scary Logos Clan.

Season 3

Season 3 started on December 6, 2014, ending the classical era at episode 4 after the closure of Ace's first account. After the series was brought back a year and a half later upon episode 5's release, the program used was changed to Blender, starting a brand new era of 3D-animated TTS content.

Main Plot

Season 4

This season ended the 3D era, and was filler for the first two episodes. Episode 3 was the biggest episode and eventually ended with a cliffhanger on Sam about to end up somewhere else than Earth 1's remains.
