Hello,
As per your description, I understand that the issue you are facing is related either with the corruption of an application file components or dll files of system components of Windows 8. I will certainly help you with either of the cases. However, we need few more details to understand the cause of the issue better.
- Have you recently made any changes on your computer, prior to the issue?
- Can you tell me that which software components are installed on the following folder, abPhoto\tag\dll?
As of now, I recommend you to go through the following methods:
Method 1:
Boot the computer in a Clean Boot state and check the status. A clean boot helps to verify if any third party application service or startup item is causing this issue.
Note: After you have finished troubleshooting, follow steps under “How to reset the computer to start as usual after troubleshooting with clean boot” in the article to boot to normal startup.
If issue persists, follow Method 2.
Method 2:
If issue persists, I would suggest you to perform **SFC scan** and check if that helps. The sfc/scannow command scans all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with correct Microsoft versions.
Hope this information is helpful. Please do let us know if you need further assistance with Windows, we’ll be glad to assist you.
