What are Defraggler64.exe Error Messages?

Defraggler64.exe Runtime Errors

Runtime errors are Defraggler errors that occur during "runtime". Runtime is pretty self-explanatory; it means that these EXE errors are triggered when Defraggler64.exe is attempted to be loaded either when Defraggler is starting up, or in some cases already running. Runtime errors are the most common form of EXE error you will encounter using Defraggler.

In most cases, Defraggler64.exe runtime errors occurring while the program is running will result in the program terminating abnormally. Most of these Defraggler64.exe error messages mean that Defraggler was either unable to locate this file on startup, or the file is corrupt, resulting in a prematurely-aborted startup process. Generally, Defraggler will be unable to start without resolving these errors.

Some of the most common Defraggler64.exe errors include:

Finding the source of the Defraggler64.exe error is key to properly resolving these errors. Although most of these EXE errors affecting Defraggler64.exe will happen during startup, occasionally you will encounter a runtime error while using Defraggler. This can occur due to poor programming on behalf of Piriform Ltd, conflicts with other software or 3rd-party plug-ins, or caused by damaged and outdated hardware. Also, these types of Defraggler64.exe errors can occur if it has been accidentally moved, deleted, or corrupted by a malware infection. Thus, it's critical to make sure your anti-virus is kept up-to-date and scanning regularly.
