This article is part of our ongoing series explaining various processes found in Task Manager, like svchost.exe, dwm.exe, ctfmon.exe, mDNSResponder.exe, conhost.exe, Adobe_Updater.exe, and many others. Don’t know what those services are? Better start reading!
Explanation
If you’ve been around Windows for any amount of time, you’ve seen the zillions of *.dll (Dynamic Link Library) files in every application folder, which are used to store common pieces of application logic that can be accessed from multiple applications.
Since there’s no way to directly launch a DLL file, the rundll32.exe application is simply used to launch functionality stored in shared .dll files. This executable is a valid part of Windows, and normally shouldn’t be a threat.
Note: the valid process is normally located at WindowsSystem32rundll32.exe, but sometimes spyware uses the same filename and runs from a different directory in order to disguise itself. If you think you have a problem, you should always run a scan to be sure, but we can verify exactly what is going on… so keep reading.
Research Using Process Explorer on Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista, etc
Instead of using Task Manager, we can use the freeware Process Explorer utility from Microsoft to figure out what is going on, which has the benefit of working in every version of Windows and being the best choice for any troubleshooting job.
Simply launch Process Explorer, and you’ll want to choose File Show Details for All Processes to make sure that you’re seeing everything.
Now when you hover over the rundll32.exe in the list, you’ll see a tooltip with the details of what it actually is:
Or you can right-click, choose Properties, and then take a look at the Image tab to see the full pathname that is being launched, and you can even see the Parent process, which in this case is the Windows shell (explorer.exe), indicating that it was likely launched from a shortcut or startup item.
You can browse down and view the details of the file just like we did in the task manager section above. In my instance, it’s a part of the NVIDIA control panel, and so I’m not going to do anything about it.
How to Disable the Rundll32 Process (Windows 7)
Depending on what the process is, you won’t want to necessarily disable it, but if you would like to, you can type msconfig.exe into the start menu search or run box and you should be able to find it by the Command column, which should be the same as the “Command line” field we saw in Process Explorer. Simply uncheck the box to prevent it from starting automatically.
Sometimes the process doesn’t actually have a startup item, in which case you’ll likely have to do some research to figure out where it was started from. For instance, if you open up Display Properties on XP you’ll see another rundll32.exe in the list, because Windows internally uses rundll32 to run that dialog.
Disabling in Windows 8 or 10
If you’re using Windows 8 or 10, you can use the Startup section of Task Manager to disable it.
When Rachel points out that at her wedding to Barry, she escaped through the bathroom window, they burst into the bathroom to see that Emily has done the same thing. Main Cast Friends cast from left to right, as, as, as, as, as and as. Friends Season 5 (1998) Summary The fifth season of Friends aired from September 24, 1998 to May 20, 1999 on NBC in the US. Friends season 5 episode 23 torrent download. Monica and Chandler spend the entire reception trying to find a place to sleep together, but Rachel's desire to tell Ross about her feelings, Ross's search for Emily, and Emily's drunken father prevent them from doing so. After the wedding ceremony, Emily locks herself in the bathroom.
Using Windows 7 or Vista Task Manager
One of the great features in Windows 7 or Vista Task Manager is the ability to see the full command line for any running application. For instance, you’ll see that I have two rundll32.exe processes in my list here:
If you go to View Select Columns, you’ll see the option for “Command Line” in the list, which you’ll want to check.
Now you can see the full path for the file in the list, which you’ll notice is the valid path for rundll32.exe in the System32 directory, and the argument is another DLL that is actually what is being run.
If you browse down to locate that file, which in this example is nvmctray.dll, you’ll usually see what it actually is when you hover your mouse over the filename:
Otherwise, you can open up the Properties and take a look at the Details to see the file description, which usually will tell you the purpose for that file.
Once we know what it is, we can figure out if we want to disable it or not, which we’ll cover below. If there isn’t any information at all, you should either Google it, or ask somebody on a helpful forum.
When all else fails, you should post the full command path over on a helpful forum and get advice from somebody else that might know more about it.

Browning auto 5 20 gauge for sale. I'm using Windows 8.1.
Currently, I set Window update to: Never check for updates (not recommended)
I realize that the rundll32.exe & wicainventory.exe slow my computer down (it both uses 100% disk usage, especially, rundll32.exe use 100% Memory (up to 3GB)) after I install an add-on (HLSL Tools) for my Visual Studio 2015 (maybe it's a co-incident).
Anyway, here's how rundll32.exe & wicainventory.exe slow down my PC.
Stage 1: rundll32.exe uses a lot of my PC memory (3GB) & disk usage (100%). At this time, wicainventory.exe doesn't use much of my PC resource. In another word, rundll32.exe is abnormal, wicainventory.exe is normal.
Stage 2: After a while, rundll32.exe doesn't use much of my PC resource. But this time, wicainventory.exe use a lot my my PC resource - It makes my disk usage up to 100%. In another word, rundll32.exe is normal, wicainventory.exe is abnormal.
Stage 3: After a while, my PC back to normal. (rundll32.exe is normal, wicainventory.exe is normal).
This (stage 1,2,3) happens repeatedly on my PC (about a few day it happens again). When this happens, I can't play game so it really annoying.
Windows 8.1 Downloads
This could be wicainventory.exe installs something on my PC behind my back. Is there anyway to find out what it is doing behind my back.
Thanks for reading :)

Unlike Windows 8 RTM where Modern UI Search was integrated with the Start screen, Windows 8.1 features a standalone Search app. In this article, we will see how to create a shortcut to launch it directly.
RECOMMENDED: Click here to fix Windows errors and optimize system performance
In Windows 8.1, PC Settings and the Search app are only two Metro apps capable of running when UAC is disabled from the Registry.
The Search app in Windows 8.1 is located inside the file %windir%System32Windows.UI.Search.dll and its resources are stored in the %windir%SystemResourcesWindows.UI.Search folder.
In Windows 10, the Search app became Cortana and got its own tile and AppID, Microsoft.Cortana_8wekyb3d8bbwe.
Application User Model ID, or simply AppID is a unique string stored per Metro app. It can also be stored inside a shortcut file (.LNK). Metro apps are opened by the Explorer shell using their AppIDs, unlike desktop apps which can be launched by running their EXE.
See this article to learn: How to start a Modern app from desktop without going to the Metro Start Screen.
To create a shortcut to launch the Search app from the Desktop or any other place you want, do the following:
- Create a new shortcut and use the following command:
- Open the Properties of the shortcut you just created and set the working directly to %windir%:
- Set any desired icon for the shortcut you created and you are done.
Now you can pin it to the Start screen or to the taskbar. If you prefer hotkeys, the Search app can be opened with Win + S shortcut keys. See the ultimate list of all Windows keyboard shortcuts with Win keys. Using the command mentioned in the article, you can launch the Search app from a batch file or even from your own app's code.
