Windows 10: C:\Windows\SysWOW64\REGSRV32.EXE Access is denied

I have a Windows 10 workstation that used to have a Fujitsu scanner installed. We have replaced that with a Brother scanner and now I am trying to uninstall the Fujitsu software. I am logged in as the administrator and go to Control Panel > Programs and Features, and right-click on "Scanner Utility for Microsoft Windows V09L21 FUJITSU" to uninstall, but I get the error: "The following error occurred on the file C:\Windows\SysWOW64\REGSRV32.EXE Access is denied". How do I fix this?

:)

 

Select C:\winddows\SysWow64\cmd. exe

Ah - I see what you mean. The link was in a more recent post found by searching for
C:\windows\SysWow64\cmd.exe

so I assumed it was directly relevant.

As it suggests, but with a change to use what you are seeing in Win 10:

What happened before this started happening?
Did you install or uninstall anything?
Change anything?
How long has this been happening?

If it started recently, do you have a suitable System Restore point you could use?

 

C:\Windows\SysWow64

Thanks for the response Dave. I ran the program and thought I was lucky when I found the Adobe Flash updater linked to that. I unchecked it and thought just to be safe, I'd keep looking down the list only to find many, many more including many what looked
like system files along with others. There are these that are checked also.

_Wow64 File not found: C:\WINDOWS\SysWOW64\Wow64.dll

_Wow64cpu File not found: C:\WINDOWS\SysWOW64\Wow64cpu.dll

_Wow64win File not found: C:\WINDOWS\SysWOW64\Wow64win.dll

_wowarmhw File not found: C:\WINDOWS\System32\wowarmhw.dll

_wowarmhw File not found: C:\WINDOWS\SysWOW64\wowarmhw.dll

There is one like this that looks valid- _Wow64cpu c:\windows\syswow64\wow64cpu.dll

With all of the ones I found, I hesitate to disable them without knowing what I'm doing. If an entry says "file not found" and is active, would it be safe to disable those?

Thanks

 

Runtime Error! Program C:\WINDOWS\SysWow64\RunDll32.exe


Hello. I've been trying to update my Nvidia drivers and I haven't had this problem until now (been using Windows 10 for about a month or two with many past driver updates not giving me any problems) and I keep getting this error. One solution was to do a registry cleaner, and I did that, but still got the error. Help? I don't really understand now.

Here's the full error:

"Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library


Runtime Error!

Program C:\WINDOWS\SysWow64\RunDll32.exe

This application has requested the runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information."



Also, here's the list of my PC build, if that makes a difference - AMD Athlon X4 860K, EVGA GeForce GTX 960, NZXT Source 210 (Black) - System Build - PCPartPicker
