Fix Windows Host Process RunDLL32 Has Stopped Working
Fix Windows Host process RunDLL32 has stopped working.
Rundll32 is a Windows utility responsible for loading and running 32-bit Dynamic Link Library (DLL) files. These files contain data and program code, and they're often used by more than one Windows program at the same time. If a message displays on one of your office computers warning that Rundll32 has stopped working, it can be difficult to pinpoint the exact cause. The problem could be with the Rundll32 utility, a corrupt DLL or one of the programs calling the DLL. In other cases, the culprit could be a piece of malware using the same file name as the Rundll32 utility to disguise itself as a valid Windows process.
Rundll32.exe is a process which executes DLL’s and places their libraries into the memory so that they can be used more efficiently by applications. This program is important for the stable and secure running of your computer and should not be terminated. Check and ensure that the particular rundll.exe is situated in the System32 folder. If so, it is the legitimate Microsoft process; else it could be a virus.
