What are dupefinder.exe Error Messages?


dupefinder.exe Runtime Errors

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

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

Some of the most common dupefinder.exe errors include:

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programming on behalf of Glarysoft Ltd, conflicts with other software or 3rd-party plug-ins, or caused by damaged and outdated hardware.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