What are QuickTime.cpl Error Messages?


Dynamic Link Library QuickTime.cpl Errors

QuickTime.cpl is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like QuickTime.cpl, are essentially a "guide book" that stores information and instructions for executable (EXE) files - like wuauclt.exe - to follow. These files were created so that multiple programs (eg. Apple QuickTime Player) could share the same QuickTime.cpl file, saving valuable memory allocation, therefore making your computer run more efficiently.

Unfortunately, what makes DLL files so convenient and efficient, also makes them extremely vulnerable to problems. If something happens to a shared CPL file, either it goes missing or gets corrupted in some way, it can generate a "runtime" error message. Runtime is pretty self-explanatory; it means that these errors are triggered when QuickTime.cpl is attempted to be loaded either when Apple QuickTime Player is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common QuickTime.cpl errors include:

Your QuickTime.cpl file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with Apple QuickTime Player), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, QuickTime.cpl file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading Apple QuickTime Player, system crash while loading QuickTime.cpl, bad sectors on your storage media (usually your primary hard drive), or quite commonly, a malware infection. Thus, it's critical to make sure your anti-virus is kept up-to-date and scanning regularly.

If you're encountering one of the error messages above, follow these troubleshooting steps to resolve your QuickTime.cpl issue. These troubleshooting steps are listed in the recommended order of execution.


Step 1: Restore your PC back to the latest restore point, "snapshot", or backup image before error occurred.

If the Step 1 fails to resolve the QuickTime.cpl error, please proceed to the Step 2 below.

Step 2: If recently installed Apple QuickTime Player (or related software), uninstall then try reinstalling Apple QuickTime Player software.

  2. In the search box, type "Update" and press "ENTER".
  3. In the Windows Update dialog box, click "Check for Updates" (or similar button depending on your Windows version)
  4. If updates are available for download, click "Install Updates".

Download QuickTime.cpl Files (Malware-Tested 100% Clean)


CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying QuickTime.cpl to your appropriate Windows system directory. Apple typically does not release Apple QuickTime Player CPL files for download because they are bundled together inside of a software installer. The installer's task is to ensure that all correct verifications have been made before installing and placing QuickTime.cpl and all other CPL files for Apple QuickTime Player. An incorrectly installed CPL file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
