Answer Posted / Harmesh Singh

Non-maskable interrupts (NMIs) are used for handling critical events in the 8086 family. Unlike maskable interrupts, NMIs cannot be disabled by software, ensuring that they receive immediate attention even if other interrupts are being handled. This is crucial for handling system crashes or hardware failures.
