DBGHELP COULD NOT BE FOUND Error, BUT IN SYSTEM32 FOLDER THE FILE IS PRESENT.

Question

Hello,

I'm unable to download google drive for desktop, unable to open settings, because of this error. (Check the attached screenshot).

I found online third-party websites providing dll files for download, but I cannot even replace my current dll file because the system doesn't allow me to do so.

I tried restarting in safe mode, and running startup repair but it didn't help.

I also downloaded the "Restoro" software to check if it can help with corrupt dll file, but nothing happened.

When I open the system32 folder it shows this file named DBGHELP.DLL, 1823 KB, but why is my system not recognizing this file.

Please help
