Overview of Autochk.exe
What Is Autochk.exe?
Autochk.exe is a type of EXE file associated with MSDN Disc 3712 developed by Microsoft for the Windows Operating System. The latest known version of Autochk.exe is 1.0.0.0, which was produced for Windows. This EXE file carries a popularity rating of 1 stars and a security rating of 'UNKNOWN'.
What Are EXE Files?
EXE ('executable') files, such as autochk.exe, are files that contain step-by-step instructions that a computer follows to carry out a function. When you 'double-click' an EXE file, your computer automatically executes these instructions designed by a software developer (eg. Microsoft) to run a program (eg. MSDN Disc 3712) on your PC.
Every software application on your PC uses an executable file - your web browser, word processor, spreadsheet program, etc. - making it one of the most useful kinds of files in the Windows operating system. Without executable files like autochk.exe, you wouldn't be able to use any programs on your PC.
Why Do I Have EXE Errors?
Because of their usefulness and ubiquity, EXE files are commonly used as a method of delivery for virus / malware infection. Often, viruses will be disguised as a benign EXE file (such as autochk.exe) and distributed through SPAM email or malicious websites, which can then infect your computer when executed (eg. when you double-click the EXE file).
In addition, viruses can infect, replace, or corrupt existing EXE files, which can then lead to error messages when MSDN Disc 3712 or related programs are executed. Thus, any executable files that you download to your PC should be scanned for viruses before opening - even if you think it is from a reputable source.
When Do EXE Errors Occur?
EXE errors, such as those associated with autochk.exe, most often occur during computer startup, program startup, or while trying to use a specific function in your program (eg. printing).
Common Autochk.exe Error Messages
The most common autochk.exe errors that can appear on a Windows-based computer are:

These EXE error messages can appear during program installation, while a autochk.exe-related software program (eg. MSDN Disc 3712) is running, during Windows startup or shutdown, or even during the installation of the Windows operating system. Keeping track of when and where your autochk.exe error occurs is a critical piece of information in troubleshooting the problem.
