Windows 10: I deleted CTF Loader ctfmon.exe

So i noticed i was having problems with my computer.. some keys would not register until i pressed at least three or four times. Namely the N and " . " keys ..

Seems to be working okay now. But during my quest to fix that, i deleted something called CTF Loader i think its called ..

It was in the task manager, and it stood out as something i didnt notice before, figured it was a virus, and deleted it . In frustration, i called up a app i often use called " Everything " typed in CTF Loader, or anything related to that file, and just managed to delete everything .. It wasnt even related to my problem i think.

Now the problem i think resulted from that, is i cant type into the SEARCH BAR for Cortana Win 10 .

What actually solved at least the problem with the N key, was i changed something in the registry having to do with Number lock, which is repurposed to the N key on this particular keyboard i use called
" Matias Mini Quiet Pro Keyboard ". It was causing some conflict .

I also recently deleted some device drivers, trying to fix the "." key, and other things . So the " . " still takes time to register. I've exhausted all the menu options i have access for normal users .

How do i fix this ; so that i can type into Search in Win 10 again ? Reinstalling windows 10 is not possible at this time. I have accumulated a lot of files for my design work .So much that i need to buy a extra hard drive to store that before i can re install windows 10 ?

Any advice about the keyboard issue is welcome too, because that is still a problem sometimes, it resurfaces then goes away .

CTF Loader

Barry,

CTF Loader (32 bit) (ctfmon.exe) What is this? Is it a virus or malware? (Windows 8.1)

ctfmon.exe (CTF loader) crashes every 3 second.

I've had this problem again and again after the FCU. I re-installed Windows 10 either by update or from ISO multiple times. I un-installed all languages other than English(US). None could solve this issue.

Every time I re-install my OS the problem goes away for a while. I was able to use my PC normally for a few days until this morning. The problem appeared again just now.

Even though Microsoft claimed this bug was fixed in build 16232, it is NOT. This bug is never truly fixed. It appeared from time to time in each build since 16226 and every time it shows up the only "fix" is to re-install windows until it shows up next time.

This bug does not show on every PC, I have 3 PC and this bug shows on 2.

Please just release a program to undo the FCU, the fall creators update is complete trash with numerous bugs (I also can no longer install Cuda toolkit after FCU).

 

How do I fix the Windows 10 Cortana Search so i can type into it again ? Currently, when I try to type , nothing happens .

 

I'd do a repair install - that should put it back. You get to keep your data and applications.

See this tutorial Repair Install Windows 10 with an In-place Upgrade Installation Upgrade Tutorials

 

I will try that thank you .

 

Repair installation works for fixing bugs like this. Next time you mess around with the system you should use Macrium Reflect Free and do a image backup. If you mess up you can restore the system exact like it was when you created.

 

Just SFC scan should do to restore that file, which is required in order to type into MS apps.

Run SFC Command in Windows 10 Performance Maintenance Tutorials [/quote] If it will work. SFC /scannow is mostly useless.

 

No it is not, it works well for me.

 

Well , this is still problem.. Any way i can get a copy of the files i need ?? Maybe i can just copy paste them back

 

I now notice i cannot copy paste into Calculator. The Skype win ten app wont allow me to type into it either Grief.

I cant use Microsoft Edge either cant type into it .

 

Let me guess the useless sfc /scannow said "Windows resource Protection did not find any integrity violations".

If you do a repair install it will bring back ctfmon.exe and then you can really disable it without deleting it using Ultimate Windows Tweaker look under performance, disable tablet service then reboot.

 

Or you can copy them manually from the ISO. You would then have to correct the authorities but you could I suppose. If you want to, check the authorities, copy them and then change the authorities back.

DSIM does this automatically if you specify the source.

As repair install takes 20 minutes and DSIM roughly the same (sometimes a bit longer) I'd not bother trying to do it manually but if you want to, go ahead *Smile

 

lx07 how you do it manually ?
