I am what a kernel runs in.
I block the kernel from accessing the screen.
You must make a driver in another one of me to use the screen.
My name is found in Windows, Apples too.
Spoiler:
Both Siri and Cortana have similar logos.

The kernel has total control of the system. What could possible prevent it from using any computer resource? – rhsquared Aug 06 '16 at 23:46

@RadoslavHristov I suppose he meant as in control it? That was slightly confusing – Areeb Aug 06 '16 at 23:47

I thought the kernel was motherboard based? Since that's what interacts with the processor and each OS doesn't have a kernel for every processor. My understanding could be entirely flawed though. – Areeb Aug 06 '16 at 23:51

Maybe you are a
boot loader
Because
that is what initialises the kernel, hence can block the kernel from doing anything - by just not loading it into memory.
