What are New Task.lnk Error Messages?


General New Task.lnk Runtime Errors

New Task.lnk file errors often occur during the startup phase of Office, but can also occur while the program is running. These types LNK errors are also known as “runtime errors” because they occur while Office is running. Here are some of the most common New Task.lnk runtime errors:

Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library

Program: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10\Shortcut Bar\Office\New Task.lnk

Most LNK errors are due to missing or corrupt files. Your New Task.lnk file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with Office), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, New Task.lnk file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading Office, system crash while loading or saving New Task.lnk, bad sectors on your storage media (usually your primary hard drive), or malware infection. Thus, it’s critical to make sure your anti-virus is kept up-to-date and scanning regularly.

Download New Task.lnk Files (Malware-Tested 100% Clean)


CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying New Task.lnk to your appropriate Windows system directory. Microsoft typically does not release Office LNK 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 New Task.lnk and all other LNK files for Office. An incorrectly installed LNK file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
