The “Windows Memory Diagnostic” that comes standard with Windows Server 2016 is application software that allows you to check if there are any abnormalities in the memory. If the number of unintended restarts, sudden blue screens, and other errors that occur when using the terminal you are using increases, it is possible that there is a problem with the OS, disk, or memory, but there are cases where memory is the cause.
