Key notes
Many Windows users are encountering theMOM.exe file errorwhen starting their systems. However, not much information is available about the origin of this file and why it causes Windows errors.
MOM.exe errors affect all Windows versions, but it appears they are prevalent forWindows 7.
What is MOM.exe process?
It is a process related to the AMD Catalyst Control Center. It is a software application used to manage the settings and features of AMD graphics cards.
AMD’s Radeon Software Crimson replaced CCC, so MOM.exe errors are more frequent on Windows 7 computers. Windows 10 devices rely on the newer Crimson driver. This offers speed improvements and better gaming, video, and display quality settings.
The process is responsible for monitoring and managing the various settings of the AMD Catalyst Control Center. These will often include display resolution, color depth, and other visual settings. It is typically located in the path below:
C:\Program Files\ATI Technologies\ATI.ACE\Core-Static" folder
While the MOM.exe process is generally safe and necessary for the proper functioning of the AMD Catalyst Control Center, it can sometimes cause issues such as high CPU usage or crashes. If this folder is, by any chance, located elsewhere, it could be malware hiding as a CCC file.
If you are experiencing problems with the process, consider updating your AMD graphics card drivers or reinstalling the AMD Catalyst Control Center software.
What are common MOM.exe errors?
Some common errors associated with this process that users may experience include:
Updating your AMD graphics card drivers should fix the problem when you have this error message. Also, reinstalling the AMD Catalyst Control Center software should work. Also, check for malware or viruses on your system, as these can sometimes interfere with the MOM.exe process.
