The file unlockerinject32.exe is a component of "Unlocker," a legacy Windows utility used to delete locked files. Errors related to this file usually occur due to software corruption, compatibility issues with modern Windows versions, or interference from antivirus software.
Here is how you can fix the error without downloading any new files:
1. Close the Process via Task Manager
If the error is a popup stating the file is crashed or frozen, force close it.
- Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open Task Manager.
- Look for unlockerinject32.exe or Unlocker in the list.
- Click on it and select End Task.

.exefile in its installation folder. - Select Properties.
- Go to the Compatibility tab.
- Check the box for Run this program as an administrator.
- Click Apply and then OK.
3. Use Windows Compatibility Mode

- Right-click the Unlocker shortcut and select Properties.
- Go to the Compatibility tab.
- Check Run this program in compatibility mode for.
- Select Windows 7 from the drop-down menu.
- Click Apply and OK.
4. Add an Exception to Windows Defender / Antivirus

- Open Windows Security (type it in the Windows search bar).
- Go to Virus & threat protection > Virus & threat protection settings > Manage settings.

- Click Add an exclusion, select File or Folder, and navigate to the Unlocker installation path (usually
C:\Program Files (x86)\Unlocker).
