What are wsInspector.exe Error Messages?


wsInspector.exe Runtime Errors

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

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

Finding the source of the wsInspector.exe error is key to properly resolving these errors. Although most of these EXE errors affecting wsInspector.exe will happen during startup, occasionally you will encounter a runtime error while using Startup Inspector for Windows.
