Error

Question

Hello 

After my laptop starts up, the screen is black but i can still move my cursor. I can still press CTRL+ALT+delete to get to the task manager but whenever i try to open any tab, a message pop up with this message; The code execution cannot proceed because C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\settingsynccore.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem.

Could you please tell me how to fix this as soon as possible?

Thank you!

Answer 2

Hi Olivia,

That is a Windows system dll, please try this:

Click your Start Button, type cmd then right click Command Prompt and choose 'Run as Administrator'

Run this command and hit Enter

sfc /scannow

When that command completes, close Command Prompt and restart your PC

A. Try to boot into safe mode

Power ON your computer and as Windows / manufacturer's Logo appears, Power OFF - Repeat 3 times

Now your computer will go into Advanced Recovery Environment

Advanced Options > Troubleshoot > Advanced Options > Startup Settings > Restart

Press 4 or F4 to enable Safe Mode (5 or F5 to enable Safe Mode with Networking)

Log in once Windows starts in safe mode

Once you are able to boot into safe mode, check the integrity of the system

B. Another option when you are in Advanced Options in previous step is to choose (Note - You won't lose any files in this step)

1. System Restore - This will restore your system to a point when things were working fine.

OR

2. Startup Repair - Startup Repair upgrade fixes all Windows errors and retains all files, applications and settings.

C. Penultimate option could be Reset this PC.

In Step A > Troubleshoot > Reset this PC - Keep my files and Remove everything. Choose this carefully as most likely you would like to keep your files.

All apps will be removed and windows will be reinstalled.

D. Last option could be to Go back to the previous Build (if problem has happened after upgrading to 1803) -

In Step A > Troubleshoot > Advanced Options > Go back to the previous Build
