What are idstore.sst Error Messages?


General idstore.sst Runtime Errors

idstore.sst file errors often occur during the startup phase of Speccy, but can also occur while the program is running. These types SST errors are also known as “runtime errors” because they occur while Speccy is running. Here are some of the most common idstore.sst runtime errors:

Most SST errors are due to missing or corrupt files. Your idstore.sst file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with Speccy), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, idstore.sst file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading Speccy, system crash while loading or saving idstore.sst, 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.

Download idstore.sst Files (Malware-Tested 100% Clean)


CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying idstore.sst to your appropriate Windows system directory. Piriform typically does not release Speccy SST 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 idstore.sst and all other SST files for Speccy. An incorrectly installed SST file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
