1244. AxCrypt - Decrypt & Launch failed

AxCrypt 1.07 / 1.08 gives you error message "Decrypt & Launch failed. Unable to finish the requested operation because the specified process is not a GUI process". Also subsequent "Error deleting directory %APPDATA%.\Local\Temp\Axcrypt\axx[something]. The directory is not empty. Please check and remove manually". This is glitch that needs to be cleaned as follows:

  1. Look in the Tempt]Axcrypt directory for some axx[something] file to verify this condition.
  2. Bring up Task Manager (Ctrl+Shift+Esc), select Sorted List ICON down some on left to give you alphabetical list of processes (this lists all processes, active and in background).
  3. End Task AxCrypt (right click action and End Task)
  4. Now go delete the axx[Something] file with the date which probably the newest. This cleans up the sub directory folder and file within which is what you want
  5. Retry
Note. My Start > "Default Apps" > to set apps and file extensions had inadvertently  .PDF set to AxCrypt! Setting it to proper application Chrome is the permanent fix for this going forward.
