What are SRU.chk Error Messages?


General SRU.chk Runtime Errors

SRU.chk file errors often occur during the startup phase of Sumatra PDF, but can also occur while the program is running. These types CHK errors are also known as “runtime errors” because they occur while Sumatra PDF is running. Here are some of the most common SRU.chk runtime errors:

Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library

Runtime Error!

Program: C:\Windows\System32\sru\SRU.chk

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.


Most CHK errors are due to missing or corrupt files. Your SRU.chk file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with Sumatra PDF), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, SRU.chk file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading Sumatra PDF, system crash while loading or saving SRU.chk, bad sectors on your storage media (usually your primary hard drive), or malware infection. Thus, it’s critical to make sure your anti-virus is kept up-to-date and scanning regularly.



How to Fix SRU.chk Errors in 3 Steps (Time to complete: ~5-15 minutes)

If you're encountering one of the error messages above, follow these troubleshooting steps to resolve your SRU.chk issue. These troubleshooting steps are listed in the recommended order of execution.

  6. Restore your computer to that backup image.

If the Step 1 fails to resolve the SRU.chk error, please proceed to the Step 2 below.

Step 2: If recently installed Sumatra PDF (or related software), uninstall then try reinstalling Sumatra PDF software.

  1. Hit the Windows Start button

  4. Restart your computer.

If this final step has failed and you're still encountering the error, you're only remaining option is to do a clean installation of Windows 10.


GEEK TIP : We must emphasize that reinstalling Windows will be a very time-consuming and advanced task to resolve SRU.chk problems. To avoid data loss, you must be sure that you have backed-up all of your important documents, pictures, software installers, and other personal data before beginning the process. If you are not currently backing up your data, you need to do so immediately.



Download SRU.chk Files (Malware-Tested 100% Clean)


CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying SRU.chk to your appropriate Windows system directory. Open Source typically does not release Sumatra PDF CHK files for download because they are bundled together inside of a software installer. The installer's task is to ensure that all correct verifications have been made before installing and placing SRU.chk and all other CHK files for Sumatra PDF. An incorrectly installed CHK file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
