Error “Windows\System32\Atibtmon.exe Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library”.

For me a way to solve the problem was to go into the CCC, into Power/PowerPlay(tm) and uncheck the "Enable Vari-Bright(tm)".

After clicking apply, there was no more error message when I plugged or unplugged my laptop.

I had the same problem with atibtmon.exe error.

Occurred when disconnecting AC-Power or wake up from sleep.

OS: Windows 10 Pro

Display adapter: "ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4200 Series"

Driver: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.

Driverversion: 8.970.100.9001

Driverdate: 1/13/2015

No CCC (Catalyst Control Center) installed!!!

Fixed after changing "ATI Powerplay settings" > "On battery" from "Maximize Battery Life" to "Maximize Performance".

Found in:

> "Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Power Options" (or "Windows-key + x" > "Power Options")

> "Change Plan Settings"

> "Change advanced power settings"

>  scrolled down to "ATI Powerplay settings"

> "On battery"

> "Maximize Performance"

Did it for every power plan!

No more errors!

Display is still be dimmed after disconnecting AC-Power!

Well I have the same problem and I can't seem to find the correct answer.  I went to the web site and couldn't find any solutions.  If anyone out there knows how to correct it please post the solution here for all of us.  Thanks

Wish I could help you.

Diane

The problem starts when I update the Mobility Radeon HD 4250 driver, I believe the atibtmon.exe is a ATI Brightness Monitor, is not related to Adobe.

The message is shown everytime I start the notebook, and when I wake it up from suspensión.

Please tell me if there is any solution
