Failed to delete '...StartupCheckLibrary'

Question

Hi,
I have gotten through pages of solutions but none was regarding my problem, here I go.

I've been having issue with "StartupCheckLibrary.dll" and found here on this site a solution StartUpCheckLibrary.dll missing!, but there came another issue: I cannot delete it in Autoruns. I receive the "Failed to delete '\Microsoft\Windows\Application Experience\StartupCheckLibrary'" info and that's it. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

Best regards,
Michal Kogut

Answer 1

Hi Michal

I am Dave, I will help you with this.

Did you right click the Autoruns exe and select 'Run as Administrator'?

Autoruns is basically just a registry and task schedular editor

Click your Start Button, then just type regedit and press Enter

In the left pane of the Registry Editor select 'Computer' at the top of the tree

Click Edit - Find and search for StartupCheckLibrary

Right click and delete any entry found

Then press F3 to continue the search and continue deleting any entries found until you reach the end of the registry.

Answer 2

Hi Dave,
Thanks for fast reply.

It worked BUT I had to delete also the "folders" in which those entries were. When I tried to delete just the entries containing it I were receiving ""Unable to delete all specified values." info so I had to delete a little more.

Cheers!

EDIT: Advice for others: If you try to do something more, like me, you do it on your own risk. For me it worked, for someone else it may not.
