Hi, can anyone please explain what Runner File Name (LogitechDesktopMessenger.exe) lacks a '-' (the app id separator) means. It keeps appearing on my screen and would it have anything to do with my keyboard missing letters, not showing my letters and freezing sometimes?

The error about "-" in the file path means that the registry cannot find that thing to load it, but it is very close! (or it is loading it, but telling you it won't pretty soon).

You can look for the command to load the exe file in the registry, and put the "-" back in, or take it out - AFTER you check the file in the error (the exe path name).

The process Logitech Desktop Messenger belongs to the software Logitech Desktop Messenger by Logitech (www.logitech.com).

Important: Some malware can camouflage themselves as LogitechDesktopMessenger.exe, particularly if they are located in c:\windows or c:\windows\system32 folder. Thus check the LogitechDesktopMessenger.exe process on your pc whether it is a pest.

The simple awnser is to stop this program from starting. It is basically just a Logitech updater and not neccessary.

However if your Logitech device is having problems then you should verify that it is not a malware Hijack and or uninstall then reinstall your Logitech software.
