Run.lnk file errors often occur during the startup phase of Windows, but can also occur while the program is running. These types LNK errors are also known as “runtime errors” because they occur while Windows is running. Here are some of the most common Run.lnk runtime errors:
Runtime Error!
Program: C:\Users\Default\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\System Tools\Run.lnk
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.
Most LNK errors are due to missing or corrupt files. Your Run.lnk file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with Windows), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, Run.lnk file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading Windows, system crash while loading or saving Run.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.
If you're encountering one of the error messages above, follow these troubleshooting steps to resolve your Run.lnk issue. These troubleshooting steps are listed in the recommended order of execution.
To begin System Restore (Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, and 10):
If the Step 1 fails to resolve the Run.lnk error, please proceed to the Step 2 below.

We maintain a comprehensive database of 100% malware-free Run.lnk files for every applicable version of Windows. Please follow the steps below to download and properly replace you file:
If this final step has failed and you're still encountering the error, you're only remaining option is to do a clean installation of Windows 10.
GEEK TIP : We must emphasize that reinstalling Windows will be a very time-consuming and advanced task to resolve Run.lnk problems. To avoid data loss, you must be sure that you have backed-up all of your important documents, pictures, software installers, and other personal data before beginning the process. If you are not currently backing up your data, you need to do so immediately.
CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying Run.lnk to your appropriate Windows system directory. Microsoft typically does not release Windows 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 Run.lnk and all other LNK files for Windows. An incorrectly installed LNK file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
