AsyncEx.ax is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like AsyncEx.ax, are essentially a "guide book" that stores information and instructions for executable (EXE) files - like MpSigStub.exe - to follow. These files were created so that multiple programs (eg. Ares Galaxy) could share the same AsyncEx.ax file, saving valuable memory allocation, therefore making your computer run more efficiently.
Unfortunately, what makes DLL files so convenient and efficient, also makes them extremely vulnerable to problems. If something happens to a shared AX file, either it goes missing or gets corrupted in some way, it can generate a "runtime" error message. Runtime is pretty self-explanatory; it means that these errors are triggered when AsyncEx.ax is attempted to be loaded either when Ares Galaxy is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common AsyncEx.ax errors include:
- Access Violation at address - AsyncEx.ax.
- AsyncEx.ax could not be found.
- Cannot find C:\Program Files (x86)\Ares\AsyncEx.ax.
- Cannot register AsyncEx.ax.
- Cannot start Ares Galaxy. A required component is missing: AsyncEx.ax. Please install Ares Galaxy again.
- Failed to load AsyncEx.ax.
- The application has failed to start because AsyncEx.ax was not found.
- The file AsyncEx.ax is missing or corrupt.
- This application failed to start because AsyncEx.ax was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
Your AsyncEx.ax file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with Ares Galaxy), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, AsyncEx.ax file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading Ares Galaxy, system crash while loading AsyncEx.ax, bad sectors on your storage media (usually your primary hard drive), or quite commonly, a malware infection. Thus, it's critical to make sure your anti-virus is kept up-to-date and scanning regularly.
