3ds Max will not install (Monitor.exe)

[Anonymous]

I have no idea what this monitor.exe is, but I cannot find it in the task manager to close it so I can install this program. Please help, my attempts to google solutions have failed.

Welcome to the community Kaitlyn!

Perhaps this thread will help? Specifically:

Start > Run

Taskkill /f /im monitor.exe

Please accept as a solution if this fully resolves the issue, or reply with additional specifics if the problem persists.

I've tried doing that but the monitor.exe keeps popping up. Is it because I have windows 8 or am I just doing something wrong?

if you have windows 8 or 8.1 then right click on your windows 8.1 button (in the left corner of your screen) then open command promp(admin)

and paste: Taskkill /f /im monitor.exe then press enter

then if you press the 'Ok' button in the installation it will work

I still can't install it. This message appears as I enter "Taskkill/f /im monitor.exe". The message is "Error: The process "Monitor.exe" with PID 4904 could not be terminated. Reason: Access is denied" Please help. Thank you in advance.

run CMD as admin, it worked for me and I used to have the same problem than you.

sorry for answering so late but maybe it helps you afterwards, Have you tried to start windows in safe mode? or have you tried running the command prompt in admin mode

Hi Philip

I had the Autodesk 3ds Max student version for 2014 installed and I would like to uninstall that and install the Max 2016 but there is this popup that blocks the uninstallation about some monitor.exe is open. I called out my Task Manager and it does not show any open app - what is this monitor.exe that is blocking?

So I followed your Taskkill /f /im monitor.exe and click Ok then the uninstallation does not ahev a popup block BUT now the uninstallation process is still not moving. Pls help as I need to get it uninstall and get teh 2016, please. 

Thank U.

You can open Task Manger; click the 'Processes' tab & scroll down to 'monitor.exe' - select and end process. The install will resume.
