What is Sihclient.exe and how to fix it?

The development of Microsoft® Windows® Operating System by Microsoft prompted the latest creation of SIHClient.exe. It is also known as a SIH Client file (EXE extension), which is categorized as a Win64 EXE (Executable application) file. SIHClient.exe was released for Windows on 07/29/2015 in Windows 10. The most recent file release for Microsoft Office Access 2010 14 was 04/07/2011 [version 10.0.16299.579 (WinBuild.160101.0800)]. SIHClient.exe is found in Microsoft Office Access 2010 14 and Windows 10.

The term “execution” speaks for itself; It means that these EXE errors are triggered when SIHClient.exe is attempted to be loaded either when Microsoft Office Access 2010 is starting up, or in some cases already running. Theese errors are the most common type of EXE error while using Microsoft Office Access 2010. In most cases, SIHClient.exe runtime errors occurring while the program is running will cause the program to terminate abnormally. Most SIHClient.exe error messages mean that Microsoft Office Access 2010 was unable to locate the file on start, or the file is corrupt, resulting in a prematurely-aborted startup process. Typically, Microsoft Office Access 2010 will not be able to start without resolving these errors.

Finding the cause of your SIHClient.exe error is key to properly resolving such errors. Although most of these EXE errors affecting SIHClient.exe will occur during startup, occasionally you will encounter a runtime error while using Microsoft® Windows® Operating System. This may be due to insufficient quality of the program code on the part of Microsoft Corporation, conflicts with other applications, third-party plug-ins, or damaged or outdated hardware. Also, these types of SIHClient.exe errors can occur if it has been accidentally moved, deleted, or corrupted by a malware infection. Thus, it is imperative that the antivirus is kept up to date and that it scans the system regularly.
