What are wdsmgfw.efi Error Messages?

wdsmgfw.efi Runtime Errors

Runtime errors are Speakonia errors that occur during "runtime". Runtime is pretty self-explanatory; it means that these EFI errors are triggered when wdsmgfw.efi is attempted to be loaded either when Speakonia is starting up, or in some cases already running. Runtime errors are the most common form of EFI error you will encounter using Speakonia.

In most cases, wdsmgfw.efi runtime errors occurring while the program is running will result in the program terminating abnormally. Most of these wdsmgfw.efi error messages mean that Speakonia was either unable to locate this file on startup, or the file is corrupt, resulting in a prematurely-aborted startup process. Generally, Speakonia will be unable to start without resolving these errors.

Some of the most common wdsmgfw.efi errors include:

wdsmgfw.efi - Bad Image.
wdsmgfw.efi Application Error.
wdsmgfw.efi could not be found.
wdsmgfw.efi could not be installed.
wdsmgfw.efi could not be launched. Class not registered.
wdsmgfw.efi could not be started.

Error starting program: wdsmgfw.efi.
Faulting Application Path: wdsmgfw.efi.
The file wdsmgfw.efi is missing or corrupt.
Windows failed to start - wdsmgfw.efi.

System Error

The program can’t start because wdsmgfw.efi is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.

Thus, it's critical to make sure your anti-virus is kept up-to-date and scanning regularly.

Finding the source of the wdsmgfw.efi error is key to properly resolving these errors. Although most of these EFI errors affecting wdsmgfw.efi will happen during startup, occasionally you will encounter a runtime error while using Microsoft® Windows® Operating System. This can occur due to poor programming on behalf of Microsoft Corporation, conflicts with other software or 3rd-party plug-ins, or caused by damaged and outdated hardware. Also, these types of wdsmgfw.efi errors can occur if it has been accidentally moved, deleted, or corrupted by a malware infection. Thus, it's critical to make sure your anti-virus is kept up-to-date and scanning regularly.

Step 3: Perform a Windows Update.

If Those Steps Fail: Download and Replace Your wdsmgfw.efi File (Caution: Advanced)

If none of the previous three troubleshooting steps have resolved your issue, you can try a more aggressive approach (Note: Not recommended for amateur PC users) by downloading and replacing your appropriate wdsmgfw.efi file version. We maintain a comprehensive database of 100% malware-free wdsmgfw.efi files for every applicable version of Speakonia. Please follow the steps below to download and properly replace you file:

Locate your Windows operating system version in the list of below "Download wdsmgfw.efi Files".
Click the appropriate "Download Now" button and download your Windows file version.
Copy this file to the appropriate Speakonia folder location:

Windows 10: C:\$WINDOWS.~BT\Sources\Boot\PXE\
Windows 10: C:\$WINDOWS.~BT\Sources\Boot\PXE\
Windows 10: C:\$WINDOWS.~BT\Sources\Boot\PXE\
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 wdsmgfw.efi 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 wdsmgfw.efi Files (Malware-Tested 100% Clean)

CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying wdsmgfw.efi to your appropriate Windows system directory. CFS-Technologies typically does not release Speakonia EFI 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 wdsmgfw.efi and all other EFI files for Speakonia. An incorrectly installed EFI file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
