ChangeIcon MFC Application has stopped working.

Since the last set up updateson 16/09/2014 for "Update for WIndows 8.1 for x64-based Systems (KB2976719), (KB2989647) and (KB2984006)", I have been getting an error everytime I start up my computer stating that "changeicon MFC application has stopped working". It states the issue as an "app crash" and that the relevant program is "UMonit64.exe".

I traced to program to its directory and ran all my virus/malware/etc scans on it and they all said it was fine. I then attempted to run the program and it came up with the same error that pops up on startup and a second error message saying it wasn't able to run because "ustor.dll" was missing.

I did a system restore to before I did the windows update and sure enough everything worked fine. I then ran the windows update again after restarting to complete the update the "changeicon MFC application has stopped working" error message started popping up again.

So my questions are:

  1. What is UMonit64.exe/ChangeIcon Application?
  2. Did my windows update cause the issue?
  3. How do I stop the error message from popping up everytime I start up?
  4. Do I need UMonit64.exe? I haven't noticed any programs malfunction when I click the "close program" option when the error message pops up.
  5. If I do need it, should I download the missing DLL file to fix it? If so where would be a safe place to download the replacement dll file?
  6. Anything else I need to know to fix the issue or whether future windows updates will fix it for me and I should just ignore it for the time being.

    Stop crying with  Microsoft Update, as i said previously it's a driver incompatibility that cause this error.

    So update all the drivers that use USB interface (muti-card readers, usb webcams, etc...).

    i had this problem, i've updated the driver for my genesys mlti-card reader and then the error disappear.

    Since i've updated the genesys multi-card reader driver to 4.5 on my laptop, i have no more problem.

    If you don't update your USB hardware-connect drivers you 'll have the problem each month. 

    So were did you find the driver update?

    ASUS-morons still operate the ver 4.3 in their library.  

    Kind of reminds me of a window display in OSLO, were their ASUS display computer featured a bluescreen for a week.

    BVR77,

    Turns out, this driver worked just perfect! Thank you very much. I think maybe ASUS shold provide this update on their support pages, but that would probably be too much to ask of them 

    THUMBS UP, and X-fingers that this has finally found a solution.
