dll file not found after Creator's Update, Code Execution Cannot Proceed

Hi Aberfoyle,

It is possible that the
.dll file was corrupted during the update causing the error to occur.
To better assist you, kindly find the
.dll file
in
c:\Windows\System32. If you can find the
.dll file, it means that we need to
register
your
.dll file
to your
Operating System
for it to
work. To do this, we need to
unregister
the
.dll file
first and
re-register
it. Here are the steps on how to do so:

To unregister the .dll file:

• 
  Press
  Windows key + R, type
  Regsvr32 /u c:\Windows\System32\VCRUNTIME140.dll
  and hit
  Enter/OK.
  

To re-register the .dll file:

• 
  Press
  Windows key + R, type
  Regsvr32 c:\Windows\System32\VCRUNTIME140.dll
  and hit
  Enter/OK.
  

If you cannot find the
.dll
file in
c:\Windows\System32,
kindly run these methods of troubleshooting
so that we will know if the issue is within/not within the
Operating System:

Method 1:
Run SFC Scan.  

SFC
will
scan
and
run
an
automatic repair
to any
corrupted system files
that it will detect. We suggest that you perform it twice. To run an
SFC scan, follow these steps:  

• 
  Run
  Command Prompt as Administrator.  
  
• 
  Type
  sfc /scannow
  and hit
  Enter.   
  

Note:
Kindly run
SFC twice or thrice
and check for results before you proceed to the next method.

Method 2: Clean Boot.

Clean Boot
will
stop or disable
the
applications
that are running in your
computer's background.
To perform a
Clean Boot, click
here.

Note:
Reset the computer back to
Normal Mode
once you are done with the troubleshooting by following the section
"How to reset the computer to start normally after clean boot troubleshooting"
from the same article.

After performing these
methods of troubleshooting
and still the issue persists, we suggest that you contact your
computer/laptop manufacturer
for further assistance.

Update us on how it goes.

Regards.

 

Change DLL to Normal

Hi,

To further help you with your concern, please confirm if you accidentally opened all .dll files using Notepad. If you have accidentally set Notepad as the default program to open all .dll files, then follow these steps to revert back the changes.

• Right-click on the Start button and select Control Panel.
• Click on Programs.
• Select Default Programs.
• Choose the Associate a file type or protocol with a program link.
• Scroll down the list and select a file type to be changed. Double click it and click on the
  Change Program button.
• In the Open With window, it will show the recommended programs that can open the file type along with a list of other programs that can also open the file type. Select one of the programs listed and click
  OK.

Let us know if you need further assistance.

 

DLL Missing

The problem is, that the required DLL is not actually even listed there.
There are just dozens of download adware links from the top to the bottom.
