What are devscan.exe Error Messages?


devscan.exe Runtime Errors

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

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

Some of the most common devscan.exe errors include:

  • devscan.exe - Bad Image.
  • devscan.exe Application Error.
  • devscan.exe could not be found.
  • devscan.exe could not be installed.
  • devscan.exe could not be launched. Class not registered.
  • devscan.exe could not be started.
  • devscan.exe failed to initialize properly.
  • devscan.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
  • devscan.exe is not a valid Win32 application.
  • devscan.exe is not running.
  • Cannot find devscan.exe.
  • Error starting program: devscan.exe.
  • Faulting Application Path: devscan.exe.
  • The file devscan.exe is missing or corrupt.

System Error


The program can’t start because devscan.exe is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.

Thus, it's critical to make sure your anti-virus is kept up-to-date and scanning regularly.

Finding the source of the devscan.exe error is key to properly resolving these errors. Although most of these EXE errors affecting devscan.exe will happen during startup, occasionally you will encounter a runtime error while using Paragon System Utilities. This can occur due to poor programming on behalf of Paragon Software GmbH, conflicts with other software or 3rd-party plug-ins, or caused by damaged and outdated hardware. Also, these types of devscan.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.

CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying devscan.exe to your appropriate Windows system directory. Paragon Software Group typically does not release Paragon Backup & Recovery EXE files for download because they are bundled together inside of a software installer.
