Hi Anjan,

DLL errors, such as those associated with PPCORE.DLL, most often occur during computer startup, program startup, or while trying to use a specific function in your program. To ensure that this issue is properly addressed, we’d like to ask a few questions: 

• Are there any changes prior to this concern?
• Which edition of Office are you using?
• Have you run your antivirus program on your computer? This is to make sure, your computer is safe from a virus or malware.

As an initial recommendation, we suggest that you open PowerPoint in safe mode and disable add-ins from there. This is for us to further isolate the concern if this is caused by an add-in. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Press Windows key and R.
2. Type in Powerpnt /safe (including the space) and click OK.
3. Go to File and click Options.
4. In the left corner, select Add-ins and click the Go button.
5. Deselect all add-ins and click OK.
6. Relaunch PowerPoint and check if the issue still persists.

We’ll keep an eye out for your response.
