Windows 10: .NET CLR.dll & System32\KernelBase.dll issues after 2004 Update

I'll preface this with me having 15 years of IT experience ranging from level 1 helpdesk to desktop support to network admin to (currently) technical architect so I know my way around a Windows OS and I'm stumped.

I will also say that re-installing Windows is such a nuclear option that I may just wait until another round of Windows updates comes down the pipe. I have far too many apps and games installed to bother with re-installing everything.

Anyhow...

On 9/19 I updated my Windows 10 Pro personal PC to the latest version of Windows 10 (2004) and all other updates. In the process, it seems that my .NET framework got whacked (clr.dll issues in the event viewer) as well as my kernelbase.dll in C:\Windows\System32.

I have since done the following:

• To fix .NET CLR.dll issue:
  • Remove .NET features, reboot, re-add
  • Boot into various version of safemode and try to rename clr.dll and replace with one from my work laptop which has the same version of .NET
  • Run the .NET repair tool (useless)
  • Hack the registry to make .NET 'release' key a different version and re-run the 4.8 installer but unfortunately that key is read-only
  • sfc /scannow
  • It seems that no matter what I do, there seems to be some rogue version of 4.5.2 (RUS) installed on my system
  • Last ditch effort was copying the same version of the DLL from another workstation using a Windows 10 USB and command prompt
  • That seemed to resolve the CLR issues...
• To fix the kernelbase.dll issue:
  • I have tried much of the same as above (DISM, SFC, etc.) with no luck.
  • I finally broke down and risked it and updated my wife's Windows 10 Home laptop to the latest version and low and behold, the version of the DLL was the same...so using Win10 USB + CMD, I copied it over.
  • Unfortunately, KernelBase.dll errors persist...see below for examples:

Here are some examples of the errors...replace SamsungMagician.exe or PushBullet.exe with any app and it's basically the same (I can't launch Quicken now, the ExpressVPN installer, etc.):

I'm at my wits end. Short of blowing away my OS (which, again, I really really really don't want to do as there is far too much re-installation of apps and configurations I'd need to do afterwards), I don't know what else to try.

Rundll32.dll?

Make sure to use an adminstrative command prompt.

Try this: ICACLS "c:\windows\system32\rundll32.dll" /T /grant Everyone:F or ICACLS c:\windows\system32\rundll32.dll /T /grant Everyone:F
Can't remember if it is with, or without, quotes.

But, why do all this... try FileAssassin by Malwarebytes, if you are trying to delete the files, but be careful, if you delete the Rundll32.dll files your OS may take a cr*p on you.

 

d3d11.dll Issue

Hello,

I was trying to run an program on Windows 10, and it's giving me an error: "Could not load d3d11.dll".

Troubleshooting steps I have taken so far:

• Installed the latest version of Microsoft DirextX - downloaded from Microsoft website
• Installed all the updates from Windows update
• Check the path C:\\Windows\\system32\\ - the file is there
• updated graphic's driver - from Intel website
  • reinstalled the driver
• reinstalled the software that was giving the error.

but the issue is still not fixed
