The winsock.dll is a dll file that is associated with Windows Socket API, and is used by every program that requires networking. This is the reason why you are getting this error. This file is a system essential file and is necessary for the correct functioning of the operating system.

To resolve this issue, download the missing dll file from the internet and place it in the Systems folder of your computer. Restart the computer and the error should be gone. Please be advised that downloading files from the internet poses a risk to your computer and you should only download files from a trusted website.
