I have a Windows 10 PC, and sometimes I get missing DLL files for a few programs that access system files. Can someone explain to me what a DLL file is and how I can correct this error?

Understanding The “missing DLL Files” Message And Its Solution

It is pretty common to come across this message. What it means is that the required file that you are searching for is no longer available. This error is caused due to malicious software like spyware that intends on deleting important system files. To overcome this error you can have antivirus software installed on your computer that checks all files that you try to download from then on, from the internet. You can also download the missing DLL file from the net but mixture the file that you’re downloading is free off of virus. Also, if this message has popped up recently then you can use System Restore to undo the recent system changes.
