Windows 10: Autoruns missing files: wow64cpu, wowarmhw, wow64, xtajit, and wow64win on KnownDlls

I ran Systinternals autoruns and these files are missing. Is this normal? I ran SFC and DISM and there was no corruption?

:)

 

missing file - ASPI32.sys

Thanks for checking. So you don't have the file at all, even in your syswow64\Drivers folder?

So what is Whatphoeb above talking about with his doom and gloom scenario?

What should I do about Autoruns saying the file isn't found? Do I leave the yellow entry alone? I'm hesitant to delete it because the file does exist in my SysWOW64\Drivers folder, probably put there by some software I installed as you said. I also wasn't sure if this has something to do with Autoruns not seeing some files properly, like wow64.dll, wow64cpu & wow64win like I mentioned above. But that seems to be the opposite of what's happening here with ASPI32.sys.

There's no way to track down what software put it there, is there? I wish there was a way for Windows to look back at files and see what program put it there.

 

autoruns reports missing files

I have another thread open for another missing file reported by autruns, but it also lists these 4 files as missing:

Autorun entry: VIDC.l420 Image Path: File not found: emYUV.dll
Autorun entry: VIDC.YUY2 Image Path: File not found: emYUV.dll
Autorun entry: VIDC.VP80 Image Path: File not found: vp8vfw.dll
Autorun entry: vidc.XVID Image Path: File not found: xvidvfw.dll

I'm guessing these are all codec files? Autoruns don't list a file location for these but selecting "jump to entry" opens the listing in the registry. I don't know If I should just delete these missing entries in autoruns or leave it alone or should I worry? I've been setting up my new 64-bit PC and I've been installing and uninstalling various software getting everything set up. I'm guessing these files got installed and removed along the way, but I'm wondering if these missing files will cause me any issues?

 

autoruns reports missing files

I fear this thread has gotten clogged up and now nobody is helping. Bottom line:

Autoruns lists these 4 missing codec files:

Autorun entry: VIDC.l420 Image Path: File not found: emYUV.dll
Autorun entry: VIDC.YUY2 Image Path: File not found: emYUV.dll
Autorun entry: VIDC.VP80 Image Path: File not found: vp8vfw.dll
Autorun entry: vidc.XVID Image Path: File not found: xvidvfw.dll

HIjackthis lists these missing files (Checked and indeed missing):

C:\Windows\Program Files (x86)\Windows Defender\NisSrv.exe
C:\Windows\Program Files (x86)\Windows Defender\MsMpEng.exe
C:\Windows\Program Files (x86)\Windows Media Player\wmpnetwk.exe
SDWinLogon.dll missing from Spybot Program Files directory

I just want to know if these missing files can be easily replaced, or what software would replace them, or if these files are even needed.
