To facilitate the troubleshooting of computer issues, the technology website softwaretested.com launched a comprehensive file library of Windows files, complete with information about what these files do and where they are generally located.
Launched in 2018, Software Tested is an information technology website famous for Windows and Mac troubleshooting articles, as well as trends and updates from the world of computers.
The Windows Files Library is a compilation of common executable and temporary files that users may encounter on PCs.
PC users download many files while using their PCs, and some of them may be safe and legitimate, while others may cause system issues, such as application error codes, blue screens, device driver glitches, and Windows Update issues.
The system files are organized into various categories to make it easier for the users to find what they need.
“Windows Files Library was created to help Windows users figure out what each file does, whether it is safe, and what role it plays in the entire Windows ecosystem. For instance, users may have no idea what the recently downloaded .exe file does and what risks it brings for the PС performance and stability.” Sergey Krapivin, Manager of Software Tested, explained.
When using the File Library, users can simply perform a search of the file in question and read all the information about it, including description, developer, location folder, file type, hash, running processes, and actions executed on the Windows computer.
“Knowing the details about a specific file allows the user to determine whether the Windows error code that popped up on the screen was caused by a legitimate or a malicious file. We all know that some types of malware operate by mimicking legitimate Windows files to avoid detection and removal attempts. By having access to information about the legitimate file, the user will know whether he or she is dealing with a Windows issue or a malware issue. If it’s a Windows issue, the user can easily track where the file is located and replace it if necessary,” Krapivin added.
Aside from the search function, the library also allows users to use different categories: 100 most popular system files, file developers, file extensions, root folders of the files, and the top 100 files that create new elements during installation.
File library pages can also be valuable for users with advanced technical skills because each page gives a detailed description of what processes start to run when the mentioned file is running.
The library also describes and categorizes all the actions that each file executes on a user’s PC, such as the creation of new files and catalogs or the changes done to the existing files and catalogs. The Windows Files Library is free to use and can be accessed by all users via softwaretested.com.
Some of the popular Windows system files in the library include maintenanceservice.exe, firefox.exeIntegrator.exeIntegrator.exe, Installer.exe, Antivirus.exe, setup.exe, searchbandapp.exe, Update.exe, TOTALCMD64.EXE, scpEA81.tmp.exe, CCleaner64.exe, Firefox.exe, SocialClubHelper.exe, ByteFence.exe, NVDisplay.Container.exes, VALORANT-Win64-Shipping.exe, and RiotClientUx.exe, among others.
