Windows 10: Moved ntdll.dll file out of system32 and now computer wont start up: I DESPERATELY NEED HELP

Hello,


Since a program was not working for my Lenovo Yoga C930, I looked up a tutorial that told me to move the ntdll.dll file out of system32. I moved it into my desktop, restarted the laptop and now it is unable to startup without a bsod that says "process1_initialization_failed". I tried doing System Restore but that didn't work. Neither did Startup Repair. I am now trying to execute a command in command prompt from the advanced repair options. Is there a command that lets me move the file back to its place? I really need help, as I was working on an essay due in 3 days.


Thanks.

:)

 

Shell32.dll file was removed from System32, now computer won't boot.

I mistakenly moved my Shell32.dll file from the System 32 folder. After restarting the computer, it will not boot. It only reaches the "Please Wait" screen, and hangs there forever. Booting in safe mode/safe mode with networking does the same thing.

I've also tried starting windows 10 on volume 2, an option I was given from the recovery screen thing, but it freezes on please wait too.

I managed to reach the command prompt and run sfc /scannow, and it failed. I followed the steps essenbe posted here Computer won't boot after replacing imageres.dll and shell32.dll but I don't see a way to copy/paste from that screen. It just asks me to select where to install windows, but does not show any files.

I've been searching the internet all day for a way to fix this, I've tried every solution I could find, and nothing has worked.

The shell32.dll file should currently be located in a folder inside of the documents folder.

Thank you for your help, I truly need and appreciate it.

 

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.

 

.DLL file

Hi Jerry,

Specific programs use DLL files to function properly in a Windows environment. If the DLL file gets misplaced, deleted, or corrupted, the error "____.dll is missing" appears. We'd like to learn more about your concern so that we could provide
the proper resolution. We just have a few questions for you:

• Which build version of Windows 10 is on your computer? To check, click
  Start, type winver, and press Enter. For example, 14393.1066.
• Did you make any changes to your computer before this started happening, like installing or uninstalling a program?
• What troubleshooting steps have you done so far?

As an initial recommendation, we suggest that you disable your Startup programs to isolate the cause of the error. To do this, follow these steps:

• Right-click the taskbar and select Task Manager.
• Click More details.
• Go to the Startup tab.
• Right-click every listed program and choose Disable.
• Restart your computer and check if the issue persists.
  
• If the error disappears, enable one of the programs and restart your computer to check if the error reappears; this is to pinpoint exactly which program is causing the error. Do this for all Startup programs until you find the cause.
• Once you've found the program that's causing the error, you can then try uninstalling and reinstalling it.

We'll wait for your response and the results of the troubleshooting.
