Windows cannot find ': search query = cmd'

When I click on the Start button and type in the search programs and files section, nothing fills.  I also open c:\ and go right and enter a search term and search does not start.  The system service runs.

  • unsolicited to pop up "Windows cannot find ' C:\Program Files (x 86) \Search»»

    Nearly a week there is a window began to appear during the first load of my computer. It's a black rectangular window marked taskeng.exe, but there is nothing in it. Almost immediately after that, a prompt appears that says "Windows cannot find ' C:\Program Files (x 86) \Search Extensions\Client.exe".» Make sure you typed the name correctly and then try again. ' It opens at the beginning, until I typed or even clicked on anything yet.  When I click 'OK', it closes and my computer works normally, a little more slowly than usual. It does not appear to be a problem, but I don't know there could still be something wrong that I can't see or know something about.

    I watched taskeng.exe and I understand that it is a task manager, but that it could be related to malware or a virus when it ceases to appear. I did a full scan of the disk C with Malwarebytes and, thankfully, he said I have no malware to remove. I do not understand why he started coming. I did a system restore, but nothing has changed.

    Can someone help me understand what it is and how to stop it without risk to occur?

    Thank you, Kateri

    What has happened is that your software antivirus or antimalware software correctly identified as a spam and removed program client.exe.  In this case, however, there often remains of the malware left behind this attempt to leave the now-missing executable malware.

    In your case, it seems that there is a scheduled task that tries to launch client.exe.

    • Click the start ORB, type the following command in the start search box and press enter
      Task Scheduler
    • When the Task Scheduler window opens, click on "Task Scheduler (local)" in the left pane
    • Use the scroll bar on the right to scroll down to "active tasks.
    • Use the inner scroll bar to scroll the active task list to find anyone trying to launch Client.exe.  Search for "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Search Extensions in the"Location"field

    • When you have found the ticket with Extensions of research in the location field, double click it.
    • In the right pane ("shares") find "Delete" at the bottom of the list and click on it.
    • Close Task Scheduler and restart
    • You should not get the popup more

    If this does not work, or if you do not find the right task to remove, download Autoruns http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx -->

    • Run Autoruns and once the analysis is complete, confirm that the "all" tab is selected (it will have to use it) then click file > find and search for client.exe
    • If a line with client.exe is found, make sure the 'Image path' set to C:\Program Files (x 86) \Search Extensions and then clear the check box at the left end of the line
    • Press F3 to search for other instances of the client.exe (I don't expect there to be no)
    • Autoruns to close and restart
    • You should not get the popup more

    If you've used autoruns, if you are convinced that the problem has been corrected and no problem has been introduced, you can run autoruns and this time 'remove' the line with client.exe inside.

    I suggest also using Windows Explorer to go to C:\Program Files (x 86) and verification of the contents of the file Extensions of research.  If it is empty, delete the entire folder.  If the files remain, are also likely to remnants of malware, but I won't tell you to delete them without knowing what they are.  If there are exe files, use your favorite search engine for names of files of research (or post the list here).

  • Error message after you initialize computer error "Windows cannot find C:\Program Files (x 86) \Search Extensions\Client.exe make sure you typed the name correctly and try again.

    After that I turned on my computer, I get this error message... "Windows cannot find C:\Program Files (x 86) \Search Extensions\Client.exe make sure you typed the name correctly and try again."

    It all started October 1, 2014, and I have no idea why.

    I asked windows assistance online, and he said he had something to do with my registry.
    But then there just stop communicating and did not tell me how to solve this problem.

    Y at - it a registry repair tool?

    Also it does not affect my computer that I can tell.

    But I have a problem in which windows cannot detect.

    In the printers and devices window, the icon of my computer has a triangle with an exclamation mark inside error.

    Maybe someone out there not and I'd appreciate any help.

    Hey, mark

    First have you properly uninstalled this program? He was executed at startup of Windows an incorrect uninstall may cause this error may still be registered in MSConfig to start automatically with the computer.

    Did you go to the address specified in Program Files (86) \Search Extensions to see if the file is present or not?

    With a mark of exclamtion in the middle of a yellow triangle indicates that drivers must be updated.

    Right-click on the device with the triangle, select Properties, go to the Hardware tab, select the device with a triangle next to it, select Properties again and select Update driver.

    This should solve the problem, if Windows Update can't find a driver for you, you can always go to the manufacturers website and download it there, however, if the Windows Update does not find it there ' has a chance to the manufacturers Web site may not it as well, in this case, you can open Device Manager right-click the missing material or using outdated drivers, select Properties, go to the Details tab and in the hardware id select menu drop-down property search with id, you receive information about the device and so download the drivers the most up-to-date and appropriate from other reliable sources.

  • Windows cannot find filename.extention in "search programs and files".

    Hello all, there is a program called "Recuva" by Piriform there (it is a data recovery program). When I try to find the program (Recuva64.exe) on "search programs and files", I see "recuva", (the r without ceiling). When I click on that, a message box appears, saying "Windows cannot find '' Recuva64.exe' '. Make sure you typed the name correctly and try again. »

    Its running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.
    If someone could help me solve this problem, I would be very happy. Thank you.
    PS: Same problems occur with Defraggler of Piriform CCleaner too.

    I'm not sure that I follow the problem then, sorry?

    It is just this program that fails, or all searches fail?

    If you click on "Recuva64.exe" it runs?

    Have you tried to remove and reinstall it?

    NOTE: later found this on a google - http://www.pcerrorfixtip.com/Recuva64.exe-318841.html I don't know on this site or one of its suggestions, I just found on google. But it does not mention "Windows cannot find C:\Windows\Recuva64.exe make sure you typed the name correctly and try again ' in the ' Recuva64.exe error messages:" section. Not sure if this is useful. AV check anything you download (as appropriate) from the site that I don't know anything about them, just a response from google. It will be useful.


    I hope that someone else may have an idea and help.

    Thanks in advance!  :)

    Steve Winograd's right - no executables are normally launched from the Temp folder where you specify unless the malware put them there.

    Your system is currently or has been infected and perhaps your detection/removal software clean the folder Temp of the suspicious content but this process does not always boot entry that points to the location/suspicious file, so that each reboot (or login), he wants to run it.

    Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, MSE, Comodo, etc..

    It is easy to get rid of the error message by doing something like disable the startup item in msconfig (if you can still find), but I suggest you fix the problem and difficulty not only the symptom of the problem simply remove the startup message.

    I would recommend also you start to search in the register, unless you have a backup because there is no 'Cancel' or 'quit without saving changes' option in regedit.  If you make a mistake, that's all.
    These ideas relieve 'rapid' and sometimes risky of the symptom, but may not actually solve the problem.  Also, I'd be suspicious of ideas that begin with the words "try."  You don't need to try things, you need to fix things.
    Here are the detailed instructions that protect you and solve your problem in the 'right' way.
    Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira
    !, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, MSE, Comodo, etc..
    A "Cannot find...". ', ' Failed to start..., "Could not load..." ». "Might not work... "" Cannot run ""error loading... ". "or"specific module could not be found"message at startup is usually related to the malware that has been configured to run at startup, but the referenced file has been removed after a malware scan, leaving behind him a startup item or the registry entry pointing to a file that does not exist.
    It might be a removal of malicious software or an application not installed.  The entry may have a curious looking name since it was probably generated at random when the malware was installed. If you search your system for the referenced file, you may not find.
    Windows attempts to load this file but cannot locate because the file has been deleted for most probably during an analysis of the malware. However, an orphaned associate of remainders of startup parameter or registry entry and tells Windows to load the file when you start or connection.
    So you should delete the referenced entry Windows stop trying to load or run the file. It may or may not be included in the registry, but you can find it.  Autoruns (see below) you get the elements no matter where it is.
    If you just locate and uncheck the item in msconfig, which disables the element but does not remove the reference to the element of false starting your computer.   The msconfig program is not a Startup Manager, that's a troubleshooting tool.  Disabling things in msconfig to put an end to the messages and think that your problem is solved is short-sighted and leave behind him a sloppy XP configuration.  Just disable the display of a start-up error message should not count as a 'solution' to the problem.
    If you are comfortable editing the registry, you can find and remove the reference directly from there or remove it using a popular third-party tool called Autoruns.  The problem can always be found in the registry well.
    Before making any changes to your registry by hand or with third-party tools, don't forget to first make a backup of the registry. There is no cancellation or exit without saving the option in regedit.
    Here is a link to a popular registry backup tool:
    You can use Autoruns to find the element of start remains little matter where he's hiding.  Autoruns does not install anything on your computer.  It will display all startup locations where the reference may be then you can turn it off or remove it completely.  Here is the download link for Autoruns:
    Run Autoruns.exe and wait that he at the end of the filling of the list of entries.
    When the Autoruns is finished scanning your system, it will say "Ready" in the lower left corner.  Autoruns can be a little intimidating to first if you have never seen it before because it displays a lot of information.  You are really interested only a few sections.
    The problem is usually to start the system or the user startup entries, then click the connection tab and see if the startup item is there.
    Scroll through the list and look for a boot entry associated files in the error message.
    If you can't find on the connection tab, look in any tab.
    You can also click file, search to search for logon, or any tab for all or part of the name of the element.
    Right-click on the offending entry and choose Remove
    .  If you are not sure what it is, you can simply disable, restart and if the problem is resolved and then remove the offending entry.  If you don't see it in Autoruns, you may edit the registry and remove the item from your startup folder it.  Autoruns shall display the same information however.
    Given that you had or have an infection, followed with this:
    Perform scans for malware, and then fix any problems:
    Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs:
    Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/
    SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/
    They can be uninstalled later if you wish.
    Restart your computer and solve the outstanding issues.

    Do, or do not. There is no test.

    I need YOUR voice and the points for helpful answers and propose responses. I'm saving for a pony!

  • After download of Internet Explorer 8 I can't open all the icons in the control panel. On display is come information that Windows cannot find 'C\WINDOWS\system32\rundll.32.exe '.

    Dear Sir/Madam,

    Yesterday, I downloaded Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 web from Microsoft Download Center.

    After downloading Microsoft Internet Explorer 8, I can't open any icons in the control panel.

    On display is come information that Windows cannot find 'C\WINDOWS\system32\rundll.32.exe '.

    Help, please. Thanks Gene.

    Thanks Gene.

    Dear: :

    Running sfc/scannow will not replace the missing rundll32.exe file.

    Why you post methods that do not work and will be just wasting time?

    Hove you never even seen this problem before, tried to recreate it so that you can actually see, or have you never really fixed?

    Why you learn not what sfc/scannow does and does not do?

    Here is a simple test to you and all your colleagues in the technical support engineer:

    Rename or delete just your c:\windows\system32\rundll32.exe file is "missing".

    Rename rundll32.exe---> rundll32.xxx

    If you started normally, before you can blink, the 'missing' rundll32.exe file quickly and quietly replace the copy in the dllcache folder.  It is the Protection of Windows file in action and you will see something like this in the Event Viewer log system:

    Event type: Information
    Event source: Windows File Protection
    Event category: no
    Event ID: 64002
    Description:
    File replacement was attempted on the protected system file c:\windows\system32\rundll32.exe. This file was restored to the original version to maintain system stability. The file version of the system file is 5.1.2600.5512.

    I beg you to perform this simple test to know how the sfc/scannow:

    Boot your system to Safe Mode or the recovery for the Windows File Protection Console does not run.

    For this example, we will use the system critical file rundll32.exe.

    Rename or delete your c:\windows\system32\rundll32.exe.exe file so the file is now "missing."

    A critical file, is it true?  It is on the list of the file 3498 knows the Protection of Windows and SFC files, but now he isn't.

    If Windows File Protection is running, the "missing" file would be quickly and silently replaced (try to rename or delete it in normal mode and it will be quickly and quietly replaced).

    Now, with your file rundll32.exe missing, start in Normal mode and try to use something like control panel to open something like Power Options and you'll see that familiar message:

    Control Panel
    Windows cannot find 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\rundll32.exe '.  Make sure you typed the name correctly and then try again. To search for a file, click the Start button, and then click search.

    Now you have recreated a common problem with the missing file and seen the error of our own eyes.  A Microsoft Support Engineer will usually suggest running sfc/scannow for this kind of problem, but it will not work or help and you can prove it to yourself, and now you have reproduced the error.

    You follow own advice and run sfc/scannow to the end.

    The rundll32.exe is always had disappeared, right?  Did run sfc/scannow replace the missing critical system file?

    How can he be so sfc/scannow is supposed to replace the missing system files?  This is because it is not this that sfc/scannow does.

    Now you know sfc/scannow does not.  He did not replace your missing system file (don't forget to put your rundll32.exe back so you will have a).

    Now, go to c:\windows\system32\dllcache and delete or rename the file rundll32.exe from there - and it will be gone and not replaced automatically because the Windows File Protection does not seem after this record.

    Run sfc/scannow in full again.

    Replace the file rundll32.exe missing in the dllcache folder, since it handles missing files (not the system32 folder) IS the folder that sfc/scannow.

    Now you know sfc/scannow does.

    Do you need help to know too much about the corrupt system files?

    Since most people do not have a genuine XP bootable installation CD, they will not be able to develop a copy of the file that is missing from the installation CD, they have not.

    After some directions on how to replace the file when the user has no XP bootable installation CD authentic and that will be useful to all.

    If you don't know how to say "I don't know how" and I'll help you.

    You want to inform/warn the poster that SP3 is installed that running sfc/scannow will take a long time for the installation of SP3 CD?

    If you do not have a CD with the same Service Pack as your installation (most people don't), the posters are in for a rough and frustrating time.

    Of course this will help with the detachment of the Ministry of Education of the impossible to try things that don't work, but I thought I'd throw it out there for the 100th time.
