Microsoft Sam Reads Funny Windows Errors is a series derived from the main concepts of Funny Windows Errors in general. 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 S2EP3 (from superkeegan9100) as well as a low-quality clip from S1EP10 (from TrickyMario7654).

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.

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 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.

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.

Main Plot

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 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. The second half of this season showed the most 3D material in the entire series, and also with much bigger ranges of length.

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 Ace's characters from 2014 appeared to yell at Sam for throwing them out in CD-I Intro Bloopers Episode IV. The Caveman AI and the Engrish AI were introduced after that, and then later stopped after a deus ex machina which even Ace himself finds unsettling and cringeworthy.
• In Episode 8, the time travel sequence reappeared since Season 2, late Season 1, or early Season 3. For some reason, 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

This season was the first to rely on errors from DeviantArt, particularly those from FluffyFerret97. The first two episodes were filler, but since episode 3, story and actual work started to become the dominant aspect in the series, and it may as well shift to dramedy or a different side.

Reception

Error requests were sent more often than expected since the beginning of Season 1 (with TheTick532 being the first TTS video creator and YouTube user to send an error request for the series, immediately before S1EP1.)

In S2EP8, AceOfSpadesProduc100 made a mistake on the error requester's name on the first error in that episode, which said it was MalachiThornsburgTV's error request when it was actually abc60altTTS's. It was later resolved.
