lpk.dll is missing - how to fix it in Windows

Windows is one of the most popular operating systems - but even Microsoft's system is not protected from errors. One of these errors occurs when the lpk.dll is missing. This file is a language file and often causes programs to stop running correctly.

What to do if the lpk.dll is missing?

1. Open the console as an administrator by typing "cmd" in the search bar at the bottom left. Right-click on the command prompt and click "Open as administrator".
2. Use the command "sfc / scannow" to scan the PC for errors. This should reveal the absence of the lpk.dll, then the file will be restored.
3. Eventually, the automatic search does not find the grievance. In this case, enter the command "regsvr32 -u lpk.dll" and then press Enter.
4. After that, you still need the command "regsvr32 lpk.dll".
5. If these steps also do not help, you need to reset Windows. This will restore all deleted files. Speichern Sie Ihre Daten am besten vorher auf einer externen Festplatte, damit sie nicht verloren gehen.

7. Achtung, hierbei werden alle Ihre Daten gelöscht.
