The lzma.exe file is an executable component process included in the program files and modules that are used by certain file compression programs. The lzma.exe process is particularly integrated into the LZMA Compression module of these supported applications that integrate LZMA compression algorithms into its set of file compression functionalities. The lzma.exe process is deployed by these compatible file compression programs as the executable dispatcher file of the LZMA Compression module, and the lzma.exe process is activated by the main application whenever the program needs to implement LZMA compression specifications into user-selected files and folders. Upon execution, the lzma.exe process calls on other associated program files and modules, in order to implement the LZMA compression algorithm into those user-selected files and folders.

Most non-system processes that are running can be stopped because they are not involved in running your operating system. lzma.exe. is used by LZMA Compression Module, If you shut down lzma.exe, it will likely start again at a later time either after you restart your computer or after an application start. To stop lzma.exe, permanently you need to uninstall the application that runs this process which in this case is LZMA Compression Module, from your system.

After uninstalling applications it is a good idea to scan you Windows registry for any left over traces of applications. Registry Reviver by ReviverSoft is a great tool for doing this.

The ReviverSoft experts have not yet reviewed lzma.exe

A process usually a part of an installed application such as LZMA Compression Module, or your operating system that is responsible for running in functions of that application. Some application require that they have processes running all the time so they can do things such as check for updates or notify you when you get an instant message. Some poorly written applications have many processes that run that may not be required and take up valuable processing power within your computer.

We have not received any complaint about this process having higher than normal impact on PC performance. If you have had bad experiences with it please let us know in a comment below and we will investigate it further.

The first thing you should do if lzma.exe. is causing errors on your computer is to run a Windows registry scan with Registry Reviver If you are still seeing errors after this you should uninstall the program that lzma.exe, belongs to, in this case LZMA Compression Module
