What are NclUSBSrv.exe Error Messages?

NclUSBSrv.exe Runtime Errors

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

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

Some of the most common NclUSBSrv.exe errors include:

NclUSBSrv.exe - Bad Image.
NclUSBSrv.exe Application Error.
NclUSBSrv.exe could not be found.
NclUSBSrv.exe could not be installed.
NclUSBSrv.exe could not be launched. Class not registered.

System Error

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to poor programming on behalf of Nokia, conflicts with other software or 3rd-party plug-ins, or caused by damaged and outdated hardware.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

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

Restore your computer to that backup image.

If the Step 1 fails to resolve the NclUSBSrv.exe error, please proceed to the Step 2 below.

Step 3: Perform a Windows Update.

Download NclUSBSrv.exe Files (Malware-Tested 100% Clean)

CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying NclUSBSrv.exe to your appropriate Windows system directory. Nokia typically does not release Nokia Software Updater 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 NclUSBSrv.exe and all other EXE files for Nokia Software Updater. An incorrectly installed EXE file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
