DLL load error message dince 1903
A few days ago my Win10 system updated to verion 1903. Everything
works fine but ... When I open windows file explorer for the first time in a session, I get a message that says something like "Unable to load DLL " something or other. Unfortunately, the message stays on the screen only a few seconds, so I can't save the exact text. After the message disappears, everything continues to work fine. Doesn anybody know what's going on here? -- Tim Slattery tim at risingdove dot com |

If you installed anything that adds customization to folder windows in any way, that would be a shell extension that Explorer would need to load as a DLL. |

Are you thinking of inventing or creating the problem just because none is in existence? Doesn anybody know what's going on here? It means that the DLL is taking time to load either because your machine is slow, busy or that it is not yet cached. After some time it will just disappear. In Windows, you've to learn that some other process is given priority and it might hold some other dependent process but eventually everything works as expected. Some common sense is required from the users part and some intelligence, of course!!.

Doesn anybody know what's going on here? Dump the Event Viewer to a text file ? Then look for .DLL instances. https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/full_event_log_view.html A failure to load, might include DLLs related to ShellEx items (right-click context). The DLL in question, might not actually be a File Explorer DLL, but a third-party-software DLL. When your computer presents a fleeting message, point a video camera at the screen and record as it comes up. I've had to do that before. My point & shoot camera shoots HD1920 video at 30FPS (which is more than my webcams can manage). A webcam like a Brio could probably do a good job, but it costs a bit more than my point & shoot.

Doesn anybody know what's going on here? No idea about your specific problem, but you should be able to find the error message in the Event Viewer System Logs Application (or System). Look into the errors nearest the time that you launched file explorer. -- best regards, Neil |

Then read the screenshot image to see the error message. After the message disappears, everything continues to work fine. Doesn anybody know what's going on here? This sounds like the sort of thing which needs the error message to get an answer. -- Kind regards Ralph |

Doesn anybody know what's going on here? Could be you installed some software that operates as a shell extension. That is, either it adds entries to the context menu of objects (files or folders) shown by File Explorer or it adds property sheets (the tab panels you see with selecting Properties from the context menu). Sometimes uninstalling software is incomplete (i.e., dirty). I've seen where context menu entries or property sheets were left behind after an uninstall. Although I don't recommend using registry cleaners, this is one place where they help by removing the shell extensions that no longer point at valid handlers (since they were uninstalled). Some registry cleaners are overly aggressive and rather stupid in not checking any chaining of dependencies. While I use CCleaner's registry cleaner, it tells you what it proposes to clean out and it still your responsibility to know whether to allow all, some, or any of its proposed changes. For example, and before encoding internal exclusions for Avast, it would say there were orphaned entries for Avast, would removed them, but they would immediately reappear. They were temp entries used by Avast. Just because a registry key appears orphaned doesn't mean it really is. Alternatively, Nirsoft has their ShellExView (to list shell extensions) and ShellMenuView (to see content menu additions). This will likely both have lots of items in their lists. The Company column will help identify software with lingering remnants that you had uninstalled. |

(A typical band object is an extra menu bar. An Explorer Bar is the docked window on the left, typically the folder tree but replaceable by a custom DLL.) | Alternatively, Nirsoft has their ShellExView (to list shell extensions) | and ShellMenuView (to see content menu additions). Another good one: Autoruns. It has a section for pretty much everything the system knows about, including shell extensions. For most things a simple checkbox can be used to control loading. |

This way, it increases the PC responsiveness and significantly cuts down your waiting time in Windows 10. But sometimes, this technology can trigger certain errors that can be quite annoying." === Hmmm. No kidding. Paul |
