How to fix DLL files missing error

Missing DLL files is something we all have to face at some point when we try to play a game. It can be a pain in the neck when you just installed a game, and it doesn’t work. Don’t worry. There is an easy solution to this problem.

What are DLL files?

What are DLL files

DLL files are some binary files that contain code or icons etc. The user cannot execute these files directly, but the applications that run in the system can. Applications will use these DLL files when needed, and if any DLL files are missing, the application will not run properly.

Follow these easy steps to fix missing DLL files.

We recommend that you first try restarting your computer and making sure that you have the latest graphics drivers and DirectX drivers. Installing the latest drivers will probably fix the issue. If not, follow the steps below.

Find the missing DLL file.

The missing DLL file’s name is usually in the error message. Run the application, and when the error message comes out, read it carefully and find the file.

Download the DLL file from a trusted website.

Once you know what is missing, download the file from the internet. You have to be very careful here since there are misleading sites on the internet. You should use a trusted website for this. We recommend dll-files.com since it is the most trusted website to download DLL files.

Add the DLL file to the System32 folder.

That is it! Now give your computer a restart and run the application again.

I hope this helped.
