What are UACHlper.exe Error Messages?


UACHlper.exe Runtime Errors

Runtime errors are Alcohol 120% errors that occur during "runtime". Runtime is pretty self-explanatory; it means that these EXE errors are triggered when UACHlper.exe is attempted to be loaded either when Alcohol 120% is starting up, or in some cases already running. Runtime errors are the most common form of EXE error you will encounter using Alcohol 120%.

In most cases, UACHlper.exe runtime errors occurring while the program is running will result in the program terminating abnormally. Most of these UACHlper.exe error messages mean that Alcohol 120% was either unable to locate this file on startup, or the file is corrupt, resulting in a prematurely-aborted startup process. Generally, Alcohol 120% will be unable to start without resolving these errors.

Some of the most common UACHlper.exe errors include:

  • UACHlper.exe - Bad Image.
  • UACHlper.exe Application Error.

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

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behalf of Alcohol Soft Development Team, conflicts with other software or 3rd-party plug-ins, or caused by damaged and outdated hardware.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

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


CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying UACHlper.exe to your appropriate Windows system directory. Alcohol Soft typically does not release Alcohol 120% 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 UACHlper.exe and all other EXE files for Alcohol 120%. An incorrectly installed EXE file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
