We often meet on Windows errors of the operating system or some applications caused by the lack of a .dll file. In order to understand what does not work, it is good to know what DLI files are.

Msvcr120.dll, nvumdshim.dll, MSVBVM50.DLL, Msvcrt10.dll These are just some of the DLL files that have done problems in various scenarios and which I said how the errors caused by their lack can be solved.

What are DLL files?

files Dynamic Link Library (DLL) I'm o Coding bookstore On which certain components of Windows or installed applications use them to execute certain more complex sequences or options. Although they contain the code similar to the software, a .dll file cannot be run / executed as we can do in the case .exe or .MSI (Windows Installer).

When an application needs to perform a certain operation, it can resort to one or more .dll files, and the lack of a .dll file in the operating system can prevent its execution. From here the most appear “DLL files missing“. Also, DLL files can be connected between them. So that when a .dll file is used, it also requires other .dll files.

The Windows operating system is based on these .dll files and if we take a look at the Windows System32 folder we will find a large number of such files.

Most DLS belong to the operating system or additional Microsoft Visual C ++ and Microsoft .Net Framework. They contain packages of DLIs capable of performing operations used by Windows applications developers.

An avata of these libraries is precisely that a .dll file can be updated by Microsoft without having to intervene software. This can close a security breach or increase the performance of an application without the developer entering the application code and making changes. The application will take data from the .DLD file updated.

Where do we find the missing files that are missing?

I noticed that there are many sites that put .dll files for users. It is the biggest mistake you can make when a .dll file is missing from the system and an application cannot be run.

• Add the navigation functionality through TABs in Windows Explorer
• [HOW-TO FIX] The program can’t start because MSVCR120.dll is missing from your computer
• ERROR 404: In drum spre…Microsoft…

When downloading a .dll file from a site of “Download DLL Files“, most likely this is outdated. There are maybe thousands of .dll files and it would be a huge work for someone to upload on the site for updated .dll files. There is of course the risk that DLL files discharged from other sites will contain malware or in other words to discharge a file .Dll virusate.

There is also a problem related to the interaction between .dll files. As I said above, they can be accessed with each other, and if a .dll file is outdated, errors in the interaction between them and implicitly in the operating system or the applications that use them.

Therefore, it is not a solution to download the .dll files except from their original sources, ie from Microsoft or from the original package of applications containing .dll files.

Windows Resource Protection (SFC)

Windows Resource Protection is a good solution by which you can check the integrity of the system files, including .dll. Run SFC from Command prompt with administrator privileges and see if corrupt files are found.

sfc /scannow 

If corrupt or integrity problems are detected, it is very possible to need the installation environment of Windows (the installation image on a support) to be able to rewrite the problem files.

Microsoft .NET Framework

In the .NET framework packages there are essential files for the applications running on the system. Some of these packages are installed with the operating system or after the first updates.
Most likely you met situations where you could not install an application because a Microsoft .Net Framework package was not installed.

Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable

Pe support.microsoft.com Find the newest Visual C ++ packages. You may have a outdated version and the application you are running either not to find a .dll file or not to understand it.
Microsoft is already preparing in the Beta Development stage, Visual Studio 2022, which comes with many applications based on AI.
Download and install the Visual C ++ version indicated by your application.

If the missing .dll file that is missing is exclusively of an application, the best method is to reinstall the application or use its repair tool (many applications have this tool).

Do not download .dll file from the Internet, if you do not want to viruses the computer or make big problems in the operating system.

The .dll files are used by Microsoft since the first operating system launched by the company and are kept on Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10 and Windows 11.
