    I currently have two instances of csrss.exe running on my system.

    I've been told one is a valid if in the system 32 directory.
    I have another under the C:\Windows\WinSxS\amd64_microsoft-windows-csrss_31bf3856ad364e35_10.0.10586.0_none_e5697c308e6ce17d.

    Does anyone know if this is a good file? I appreciate any/all you can provide... thank you in advance & Best.

    :)

  2. c/c++ compiler for windows 10

    This question is outside the scope of this site (for consumers) and to be sure you get the best (and quickest) answer it should be asked either on Technet (for IT Pro's) or MSDN (for developers)

  3. c/c++ compiler for windows 10

    Hello guys, I have window 10 pro 64 bit. I have surfed a lot over internet for the c++ compiler for windows 10 and download and used almost every compiler but no one worked. Also I have ran every software with every single compatibility option but that
    also doesen't worked. When I open the software, nothing opens. Please help me with this.

    I'm pretty sure you don't. Go to elevated command prompt and check with the command

    fsutil hardlink list c:\windows\system32\csrss.exe

    You'll see this (hopefully)

    So in actual fact (assuming you see that and if you don't you've got a problem) the two paths are in fact just two different ways of referencing the same object. It is pretty meaningless to say the program is in System32 or is in WinSxS. Both are just ways to access the same filesystem object in the same way as My Documents\xxx.docx is the same thing as C:\Users\<whatever>\Documents\xxx.docx

    You can read about hardlinks here

    You're welcome. If you see the same then there is certainly nothing to worry about.

    hth is short for "hope this helps" btw ("by the way"). Sorry for the acronyms..

    all the best, hali (my name, not yet another one *Smile )
