Windows 10: Message says to reinstall library that contains: "DiskDefragHelper.dll::StringLocalizer"

Pop up says I need to reinstall a Windows 10 program that includes "DiskDefragHelper.dll::StringLocalizer" It doesn't say which program needs to be reinstalled????

:)

 

dll library

.dll is the extension for drivers. Technically it stands for "Dynamic Link Library" (which means that saying dll library is like saying dynamic link library library) and it is pretty much synonymous with the .exe (or executable) extension.

I would suggest you uninstall Malwarebytes and try running Windows Defender Antivirus (and Antimalware, btw) again.

Malwarebytes tends to come with a trial subscription that will shut Defender off by default.

 

MSVCP120.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. Please help to fix nothing has worked.

Hi,

It's really odd that half of your programs won't run because of the error message "MSVCP120.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error". The
.dll could be the culprit behind why the error message is showing up. However, let's try if these steps will make a difference:

• We're going to test it first with one of your programs. Uninstall one of the programs that is experiencing the issue.
  
• Manually replace the DLL once done uninstalling the program.
  

• Remove MSVCR120.dll from c:\Windows\System32\MSVCR120.dll.
• Download and install Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2013.
• Restart your computer.

Download C++ 2013 library on this link.

3. Install the program again that you've uninstalled using an

account or user profile that has Administrator rights and

Administrator privileges. You may also need to right-

click and Run the program As Administrator.

4. Once done installing the program, run it and see if the

issue persists.

We're looking forward to your feedback.

 

DLL Files containing icons

I'm rebuilding my Win10 desktop after recovering from a failure to boot. I've used GOOGLE to obtain a list of DLL files that hold icons. They're located in the "system32" folder, along with HUNDREDS of other DLL files that DON'T
hold icons, and whose names make no sense whatever (the names of the icon-containing DLL's also make no sense whatever).

You'd think that common sense would require a unique folder (like "Icon Holders") into which the icon-containing DLL's would be held. But common sense doesn't seem to be relevant here. I've tried creating the folder I envision(in
the "system32" folder and putting copies of the icon-holding files into it. But when I go into the "change icon" procedure and browse to one of the relevant DLL files, I get a message informing me that the file in question contains no icons.

This is simply insane; why does this happen? putting a copy of a file into another folder should not change it.
