  2. Windows 10: WSOCK32.dll is not designed to run on Windows?

    Just recently I've been getting a pop-up on my home screen every time the computer starts that says:

    One Drive - Bad Image
    C:\Windows\System32\WSOCK32.dll is not designed to run on Windows or contains an error. Error status: 0xc0000020.

    Does anyone know how to fix this error?

    Hi,

    Since you are getting same error "C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\MSVCR120.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error".

    We suggest that you refer to this
    thread
    as some customers are also having the same issue and try to check the suggested fix of Santosh_Rai.

    Let us know how it goes.

    Hi.
