General Resource Monitor.lnk Runtime Errors

Resource Monitor.lnk file errors often occur during the startup phase of Windows, but can also occur while the program is running.

Most LNK errors are due to missing or corrupt files. Your Resource Monitor.lnk file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with Windows), or deleted by a malware infection.
