Do not download standalone DLL files from third-party websites. They often contain malware or outdated versions. Instead, use these built-in system fixes:

Press Windows Key + S, type cmd.

Open Command Prompt as an administrator.

```
sfc /scannow

Wait for the process to hit 100% and restart your PC.
