How to Fix iscsiwmi.dll Errors Without Downloading

Do not download DLL files from third-party websites, as they often contain malware or outdated versions. Use these built-in Windows tools to repair the file safely.

1. Run the System File Checker (SFC)

This tool scans all protected system files and replaces corrupted ones with a fresh copy from a local cached backup.

Press Windows Key + X and select Terminal (Admin) or Command Prompt (Admin).
Type sfc /scannow and press Enter.
Wait for the scan to reach 100% and restart your computer.

2. Run the DISM Tool

If the SFC tool cannot find the backup file to repair it, the Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) tool will fix the local system image.

Open Command Prompt (Admin) again.
Type DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth and press Enter.
Once the process completes, rerun the sfc /scannow command to ensure the fix is applied.

3. Re-register the DLL File

If the file is present but Windows cannot read it correctly, re-registering it in the system registry can resolve the conflict.

Open Command Prompt (Admin).
Type regsvr32 /u iscsiwmi.dll and press Enter (this unregisters the file).
Type regsvr32 iscsiwmi.dll and press Enter (this re-registers the file).

4. Restart the Microsoft iSCSI Initiator Service

Errors can occur if the underlying service is frozen or stopped.

Press Windows Key + R, type services.msc, and press Enter.
Scroll down to find Microsoft iSCSI Initiator Service.
Right-click it and select Restart (or Start if it is not running).
Right-click it again, select Properties, and set the Startup type to Automatic.
