Then wouldn't: "appA tried to open X and encountered an error" be simpler and more comprehendible? We can't expect to know what the actual error was now could we?

Windows and basically all Windows apps are written for noobs, why aren't the error messages?

Probably because a your typical computer noob wouldn't know what an error message meant ("I can't find the "any" key!") no matter how simple you write it.

its a windows OS error, it just pop ups randomly, and at boot
