    When "sfc /scannow" does not fix missing bcrypt.dll message


    K. This is weird. But here goes.


    Had a problem with my PC where Windows 10 stopped applying updates. So I did a complete rebuild, installing latest Windows 10 (x64) on a fresh HD. Install went great, moved my Users directory to a separate disk, and then started re-installing my apps. Firefox installed as expected, so then I tried iTunes, using the version from the Microsoft Store. Install went well (no errors), but when I went to start the application, I received 4 errors that the following dll files are not found:

    • bcrypt.dll
    • dwmapi.dll
    • dxva2.dll
    • iphlpapi.dll

    So I took the error messages' advice and uninstall/reinstalled iTunes. Still borked. So I found these commands after a search:

    • dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
    • sfc /scannow

    Ran them as Administrator, but no integrity violations were found. Rebooted anyway, and tried re-installing iTunes from the Microsoft Store - still borked.


    Then I discovered all 4 dlls are where they are supposed to be under C:\Windows\system32\


    I'm not sure what the problem is. I could download the iTunes binaries from Apple and attempt to install it that way, but I'd prefer to use the Store version to avoid getting requests to install other software.

    :)

    Missing VCOMP140.DLL

    Hi Brenda,

    Have you tried performing the
    SFC scan? If not, we suggest that you perform it. SFC will scan, fix and restore any corrupted and missing system files.
    To run an
    SFC scan, follow these steps:



    • Run
      Command Prompt as Administrator.

    • Type
      sfc /scannow
      and hit
      Enter.

    Note:
    The scanning might take a while. Make sure that you
    DO NOT CANCEL
    the process.

    Let us know how it goes.

    Regards.

  3. Msvcr100.dll missing after Windows 10 update, sfc/ scannow showed no mistakes

    Dear Microsoft Support,

    I have a problem, and i see no other option than to write a message here,

    msvcr100.dll file is missing after Win10 (x64) Update (not the initial upgrade, but update from the last month). Nothing helped.

    I tried to copy the old .dll file from windows.old, then i tried for some tools to fix - no result, than manually downloaded this dll and system showed - "The module "MSVCR100.dll" was loaded but the entry-point DllRegisterServer was not found. Make sure
    that "MSVCR100.dll" is a valid DLL or OCX file and then try again."Then tried to write: "sfc /scannow" in command line, after several hours of checking - it was written, that there are no mistakes.

    Is there anyway You may help me in solving this problem?

    The problem appeared after updating Windows 10, it never occured before.

    Regards

    When "sfc /scannow" does not fix missing bcrypt.dll message

    MSVCP100.dll and MSVCP100.dll missing

    Hello,

    May we know if you have made any software changes to your device prior to the missing DLL files?

    As a first troubleshooting step, we suggest that you run the System File Checker tool and see if it helps with the issue. System File Checker is a utility in Windows that allows users to scan for corruptions in Windows system files and restore corrupted
    files. If a Windows Resource Protection (WRP) file is missing or is corrupted, Windows may not behave as expected.

    To run the System File Checker tool, you may follow the steps below:

    • Open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click Start, type
      Command Prompt or cmd, then right-click it, and click
      Run as administrator.
    • At the command prompt, type the following command, and press Enter:
      • sfc /scannow
    • After the process is finished, you may receive the results of the scan, if it found any corruptions within your device.

    We look forward to an update from you.

    Regards.
