How to fix chkupd?

Hi TomGentilella,

1.        What exactly is the issue on your computer?

2.        Have you made any software or hardware changes on your computer prior to this issue?

Adding to Gerry’s suggestion, you may follow this link to uninstall Daemon Tools:

Removing DAEMON Tools Lite

Note: Using Third Party Software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from booting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that any problems resulting from the use of Third Party Software can be solved. Using Third Party Software is at your own risk.

Hope the information helps.

DAEMON Tools helps to create, save as files and mounting images of CD, DVD and Blu-ray discs.

You have to read the (full name) of the file. See if the file looks something like this, or similar: (ProgramUpdateCheck Trusted Software ApS C:\Program Files (x86)\File Type Assistant\TSAssist.exe /chkupd).
