How to Reinstall a Umonit File

The umonit.exe file is associated with the USB monitor. This file runs when you start up your computer and alerts you when the USB unit is available or when a USB device is plugged in. If the umonit.exe file is missing or accidentally deleted, you will not receive those alerts when the USB slot is open or unavailable. While this file is not crucial, the umonit.exe file should not be deleted. You can restore the file to your hard drive with a data recovery program; once the file has been returned to the hard drive, it will run automatically on start up.

• 1

  Download a data recovery program for free online, such as File Recovery 4, EASEUS or TOKIWA (see Resources). Once you have installed the program, run it on your PC.

• 2

  Choose the "C:/" drive as the location to be scanned; the program will search for deleted files, including the umonit.exe file, and display the data in a list of thumbnails.

• 3

  Click on the umonit.exe file and click the "Restore" button. The umonit file will be returned to the hard drive and will run when you start your computer.
