This error is a classic missing-startup-entry: Windows is trying to launch a file at boot that no longer exists (or is blocked). The path form C:\PROGRA~3\9EEDE77.ccp uses an 8.3 short name (the numeric suffix depends on which "Program..." folders already exist on that drive). The filename 9EEDE77.ccp is not a standard Windows component and is most likely a leftover installer/stub or, less commonly, unwanted software. As observed, it is something that runs at startup.

Practical, safe steps to find and fix it:

  1. Check Task Manager (Ctrl+Shift+Esc) -> Startup. Look for unknown entries and any path containing PROGRA~ or 9EEDE77. Disable first; do not delete yet.
  2. Use Autoruns (Sysinternals) run as Administrator and search (Ctrl+F) for 9EEDE77. Autoruns shows every Run key, scheduled task, and startup folder item. Uncheck an entry to test removal before permanently deleting.
  3. Resolve the short name mapping: open an elevated Command Prompt and run dir /x C:\ to see what PROGRA~3 maps to. This identifies the real folder.
  4. Search the disk for the file: in PowerShell run Get-ChildItem -Path C:\ -Filter *9EEDE77* -Recurse -Force -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue (or use Explorer search). If found, inspect file properties and parent folder.
  5. Check registry Run locations:
    HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
    HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
    and the Wow6432Node equivalent for 32-bit entries on 64-bit systems. Also check Task Scheduler and both Startup folders (%APPDATA%\...\Startup and C:\ProgramData\...\Startup).

Safety notes: create a System Restore point before deleting registry entries or files. Disable entries first to confirm no side effects. If the file looks suspicious, run an offline/full antivirus scan (Windows Defender Offline / Malwarebytes) before removal and consider submitting the sample to an online scanner for analysis. If network/system errors persist after cleanup, run sfc /scannow and DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth to repair system components.

This isn't really a C++ problem. Try uninstalling the program and reinstalling the program that uses EEDE77.ccp

Navigate to the folder location the error gave you. progra~3 would be something like program files, program files(x86), program data.

this error appears once when i start the computer

when it is loading in the beginning

when it is about to start it shows the x "error" and the command i wrote before

i click ok and that's it

Which means it is a program that loads on startup. That still doesn't changethe fact that it is not working.
