    Select C:\winddows\SysWow64\cmd. exe


    when trying to open "Uninstall or change a program", " System properties" from This PC or trying from right click on desktop to open Personalization or Display setting, a cmd open and close right after and nothing happens, but if click on that cmd right before it close, it stays open, blank, with title write as i mention... from Settings i can open everything, i can create and delete folder everywhere, so it's not a Permission thing... to mention that if i try to type something in that cmd it close immediatly.

    :)

    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

    C:\Windows\SysWow64

    Something on your system startup may be causing this folder to open . . .

    Click HERE to download Autoruns from Technet, a small
    free utility that does not need installing. This utility will give you a much more detailed view of apps and processes starting with your system . . .

    • Unzip the Download, right click either Autoruns.exe or Autoruns64.exe (depending on whether you are running 32bit or 64bit Window 10) and select 'Run as Administrator'
    • Scroll down to find any entry referring explorer and C:\Windows\SysWow64
    • Restart your system and this annoyance should be gone

    Select C:\winddows\SysWow64\cmd. exe

    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
