Windows 10: "C:\Windows\SysWOW64\shell32.dll"

Hello-


I have installed a couple of games (Rainbow Six Seige + Fortnite ) and both display "C:\Windows\SysWOW64\shell32.dll". as a sort of crash? Minecraft runs fine and so does everything- Dell Support Assist says my computer is fine so....? How do I access Shell32 files since they are Hidden files??

C:\Windows\SysWow64

Thanks for the response Dave. I ran the program and thought I was lucky when I found the Adobe Flash updater linked to that. I unchecked it and thought just to be safe, I'd keep looking down the list only to find many, many more including many what looked
like system files along with others. There are these that are checked also.

_Wow64 File not found: C:\WINDOWS\SysWOW64\Wow64.dll

_Wow64cpu File not found: C:\WINDOWS\SysWOW64\Wow64cpu.dll

_Wow64win File not found: C:\WINDOWS\SysWOW64\Wow64win.dll

_wowarmhw File not found: C:\WINDOWS\System32\wowarmhw.dll

_wowarmhw File not found: C:\WINDOWS\SysWOW64\wowarmhw.dll

There is one like this that looks valid- _Wow64cpu c:\windows\syswow64\wow64cpu.dll

With all of the ones I found, I hesitate to disable them without knowing what I'm doing. If an entry says "file not found" and is active, would it be safe to disable those?

Thanks

problem with "C:\Windows\System32\shell32.dll".

Hi Wahaaj,

Error code 800f081f is related to .NET Framework installation. For us to clarify the issue, we would like to ask the following questions:

• Are you talking about a program named Fortnite? If you are, have you tried reinstalling it?
• What is the exact error message that you're getting when operating Fortnite?
• What is the build number and version of your Windows?

Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) tool is used to repair the Windows image to enable System File Checker (SFC) to do its job. This utility can be used to repair and prepare Windows images, including the Windows Recovery Environment,
Windows Setup, and Windows PE.

In the meantime, we suggest that you run a virus/malware scan of your entire system. Soem shell32.dll error could be related to a virus or other malware infection on your PC that has damaged the .dll file.

We will wait for your response.
