    Constant Google Update Helper Error


    As of the first of the month I am constantly getting an error associated with Google Update Helper.

    The Reliability Monitor gives me the following message:
    "Windows Installer reconfigured the product. Product Name: Google Update Helper. Product Version: 1.3.99.0. Product Language: 1033. Manufacturer: Google Inc.. Reconfiguration success or error status: 1638."

    The Event Viewer indicates:
    "Product: Google Update Helper -- Error 1316. The specified account already exists."

    There is nothing in the Programs and Features for Google Update Helper nor is there a Google Update entry so I have no way of uninstalling it.

    These errors are occurring at a set time. The last few days I get two an hour, 10 minutes and 22 minutes after the hour.

    I sure would like to get rid of these.

    File Association Helper in Startup

    from another forum on May 6, 2018:
    You can uninstall File Association Helper in less than 5 minutes. Here are the steps to follow:

    Step 1 — Uninstall File Association Helper via Control Panel

    Simply go to Start > type Control Panel > double click the first result to launch Control Panel.
    Then go to Uninstall a program > locate File Association Helper in the list and select it
    Select Uninstall > wait until Windows completely removes FAH from your PC.
    Restart your PC.
    Step 2 — Clean the Registry Editor

    Now that you removed the program, you also need to remove any traces or file changes associated with it. To do that, you need to open the Registry Editor.

    Go to Start > type “regedit” > launch the Registry Editor
    Locate the following keys and delete them:
    KEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareFile Association Helper
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareFile Association Helper

    Step 3 — Check all the hidden files and folders

    File Association Helper may have left behind various hidden files and folders. In order to completely remove the software, you can also need to delete these files. Here’s how to do that:

    Simply go to Start > type Control Panel > double click the first result to launch Control Panel. On Windows 10, you can also type “Show hidden files and folder” in the search box. Then simply check Show hidden files, folders and drives and jump straight to step number 3.

    Go to Folder > select Show Hidden Files and Folders
    Locate the following folders:
    CConstant Google Update Helper Error :program FilesFile Association Helper
    C*Biggrinocument and SettingsAll UsersApplication DataFile Association Helper
    C*Biggrinocuments and Settings%USER%Application DataFile Association Helper

    4. Delete them and then restart your PC.

    Step 4 — Empty Temp Folder

    The final step is to clean the Temp folder where all the temporary files are stored. To empty the folder, go to Start and type the %temp% command.

    This will open the Temp folders. You can now empty them. If the system displays an error message when deleting some files, leave them. The files might be in use by Windows services or some running software.

    Step 5 — Use a dedicated tool to remove software leftovers

    After you performed all the steps listed above, you have removed 99.9% of all the files and folders left behind by File Association Helper. However, there may be a few file that escaped your scrutiny. In order to make sure that you have removed all of them, you can also use a dedicated software uninstaller.

    These applications are specially designed to remove the selected application along with all of its files and registry entries. As a result, the application will be completely removed from your PC.

    There are many great uninstaller tools available on the market, but the best are IOBit Uninstaller and Revo Uninstaller so feel free to try any of these tools.

  4. Constant Google Update Helper Error

    Product: ASUS Update Helper — Error 1316. The specified account already exists

    I've been looking for an answer all over the net for the last 12 hours and most answers always seem to suggest the same things; using a registry cleanup such as CCleaner and using the microsoft diagnostics cab.

    I've tried these and cannot figure out 1) what's triggering the error and 2) how to prevent it.

    As the title says, event viewer is throwing an error; MsiInstaller 11316 with the details that Product: ASUS Update Helper -- Error 1316. The specified account already exists.

    However, I'm not trying to install/uninstall anything, and I can't seem to find what the ASUS Update Helper is, nor is there anything installed by that name. I've uninstalled everything with the name ASUS from the apps tab and there are no programs in the start menu.

    There are, however, entries in services:

    Services Screenshot

    My motherboard is an ASUS Prime Z370-A II so it could be related but I would still like to fix whatever the cause is.

    Any suggestions are greatly appreciated, thanks in advance for your help!
