What are MBR2GPT.EXE Error Messages?

MBR2GPT.EXE Runtime Errors

Runtime errors are Windows errors that occur during "runtime". Runtime is pretty self-explanatory; it means that these EXE errors are triggered when MBR2GPT.EXE is attempted to be loaded either when Windows is starting up, or in some cases already running. Runtime errors are the most common form of EXE error you will encounter using Windows.

In most cases, MBR2GPT.EXE runtime errors occurring while the program is running will result in the program terminating abnormally. Most of these MBR2GPT.EXE error messages mean that Windows was either unable to locate this file on startup, or the file is corrupt, resulting in a prematurely-aborted startup process. Generally, Windows will be unable to start without resolving these errors.

Some of the most common MBR2GPT.EXE errors include:

MBR2GPT.EXE - Bad Image.
MBR2GPT.EXE Application Error.
MBR2GPT.EXE could not be found.
MBR2GPT.EXE could not be installed.
MBR2GPT.EXE could not be launched. Class not registered.
MBR2GPT.EXE could not be started.
MBR2GPT.EXE failed to initialize properly.
MBR2GPT.EXE has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
MBR2GPT.EXE is not a valid Win32 application.
MBR2GPT.EXE is not running.
Cannot find MBR2GPT.EXE.
Error starting program: MBR2GPT.EXE.
Faulting Application Path: MBR2GPT.EXE.
The file MBR2GPT.EXE is missing or corrupt.
Windows failed to start - MBR2GPT.EXE.

System Error

The program can’t start because MBR2GPT.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 MBR2GPT.EXE error is key to properly resolving these errors. Although most of these EXE errors affecting MBR2GPT.EXE will happen during startup, occasionally you will encounter a runtime error while using Windows 10. This can occur due to poor programming on behalf of Microsoft, conflicts with other software or 3rd-party plug-ins, or caused by damaged and outdated hardware. Also, these types of MBR2GPT.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.

How to Fix MBR2GPT.EXE Errors in 3 Steps (Time to complete: ~5-15 minutes)

If you're encountering one of the error messages above, follow these troubleshooting steps to resolve your MBR2GPT.EXE issue. These troubleshooting steps are listed in the recommended order of execution.

Step 1: Restore your PC back to the latest restore point, "snapshot", or backup image before error occurred.

To begin System Restore (Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, and 10):

Hit the Windows Start button
When you see the search box, type "System Restore" and press "ENTER".
In the search results, find and click System Restore.
Please enter the administrator password (if applicable / prompted).
Follow the steps in the System Restore Wizard to choose a relevant restore point.
Restore your computer to that backup image.

If the Step 1 fails to resolve the MBR2GPT.EXE error, please proceed to the Step 2 below.

Step 2: Run SFC (System File Checker) to restore the corrupt or missing MBR2GPT.EXE file.

System File Checker is a utility included with every Windows version that allows you scan and restore corrupted system files. Use the SFC tool to fix missing or corrupt MBR2GPT.EXE files (Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, and 10):

Hit the Windows Start button
In the search box, type "cmd" but DO NOT PRESS "ENTER".
Press and hold "CTRL-Shift" on your keyboard while pressing "ENTER".
You'll be prompted with a permission dialog box.
In the box, click "YES".
You should have a black screen with a blinking cursor.
In that black screen, type "sfc /scannow" and hit "ENTER".
SFC will begin scanning for MBR2GPT.EXE issues and any other system file problems.
Follow any on-screen commands to complete the process.

Please be aware that this scan might take a while, so please be patient while it is working.

If this Step 2 fails as well, please proceed to the Step 3 below.

sfc /scannow

Step 3: Perform a Windows Update.

When the first two steps haven't solved your issue, it might be a good idea to run Windows Update. Many MBR2GPT.EXE error messages that are encountered can be contributed to an outdated Windows Operating System. To run Windows Update, please follow these easy steps:

Hit the Windows Start button
In the search box, type "Update" and press "ENTER".
In the Windows Update dialog box, click "Check for Updates" (or similar button depending on your Windows version)
If updates are available for download, click "Install Updates".
After the update is completed, restart your PC.

If Windows Update failed to resolve the MBR2GPT.EXE error message, please proceed to next step. Please note that this final step is recommended for advanced PC users only.

Download MBR2GPT.EXE Files (Malware-Tested 100% Clean)

CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying MBR2GPT.EXE to your appropriate Windows system directory. Microsoft typically does not release Windows EXE files for download because they are bundled together inside of a software installer. The installer's task is to ensure that all correct verifications have been made before installing and placing MBR2GPT.EXE and all other EXE files for Windows. An incorrectly installed EXE file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
