VESMgr.exe, also known as the VAIO Event Service, is a software component of Sony's VAIO computers. It is a service module that is typically located in the C:\Program Files (x86)\Sony\VAIO Event Service directory.
The VAIO Event Service is responsible for managing and handling events that are triggered by special keys on the Sony VAIO laptop, such as the volume control, brightness control, and other function keys. This service ensures that these special keys function correctly and as expected.
VESMgr.exe is needed for the proper functioning of the special keys on a Sony VAIO laptop. Without this service, these keys may not work as intended, which could limit the functionality and ease of use of the laptop.
It is not recommended to remove VESMgr.exe as it is an essential component of the Sony VAIO laptop's functionality. If you suspect that the file is causing problems or is a virus or malware (which can sometimes disguise themselves as legitimate system files), it may be necessary to remove it. Always ensure to verify the legitimacy of the file before removal, and consider seeking professional advice if you are unsure.

Ich dachte als erstes auf meiner suche nach einen ungewöhnlichen Prozess, dass ich diesen gefunden hätte. Noch komischer finde ich es das er keine Informationen giebt. Das eigenschafts Fenster wird nicht geöffnet und "Dateipfad öffnen" reagiert ebenfalls nicht, nach einer runde googel und 5 minuten später wuuste ich das es sich um ein service Prozess von Vaio handel. Entwarnung! Kim N.

Best practices for resolving VESMgr issues
A clean and tidy computer is the key requirement for avoiding problems with VESMgr. This means running a scan for malware, cleaning your hard drive using 1cleanmgr and 2sfc /scannow, 3uninstalling programs that you no longer need, checking for Autostart programs (using 4msconfig) and enabling Windows' 5Automatic Update. Always remember to perform periodic backups, or at least to set restore points.
Should you experience an actual problem, try to recall the last thing you did, or the last thing you installed before the problem appeared for the first time. Use the 6resmon command to identify the processes that are causing your problem. Even for serious problems, rather than reinstalling Windows, you are better off repairing of your installation or executing the 7DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth command. This allows you to repair the operating system without losing data.
To get your computer running as fast as it did on day one, you can 8reset your PC. Your personal files will remain intact, but any programs you installed will need to be reinstalled.
To help you analyze the VESMgr.exe process on your computer, the following programs have proven to be helpful: ASecurity Task Manager displays all running Windows tasks, including embedded hidden processes, such as keyboard and browser monitoring or Autostart entries. A unique security risk rating indicates the likelihood of the process being potential spyware, malware or a Trojan. A good Bantivirus software detects and removes sleeping spyware, adware, Trojans, keyloggers, malware and trackers from your hard drive.
