What are Updater.cpl Error Messages?


Dynamic Link Library Updater.cpl Errors

Updater.cpl is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like Updater.cpl, are essentially a "guide book" that stores information and instructions for executable (EXE) files - like MpSigStub.exe - to follow. These files were created so that multiple programs (eg. Extensions for Windows) could share the same Updater.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 Updater.cpl is attempted to be loaded either when Extensions for Windows is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common Updater.cpl errors include:

Your Updater.cpl file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with Extensions for Windows), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, Updater.cpl file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading Extensions for Windows, system crash while loading Updater.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.

How to Fix Updater.cpl Errors in 3 Steps (Time to complete: ~5-15 minutes)

If you're encountering one of the error messages above, follow these troubleshooting steps to resolve your Updater.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.

To begin System Restore (Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, and 10):

  1. Hit the Windows Start button
  2. When you see the search box, type "System Restore" and press "ENTER".
  3. In the search results, find and click System Restore.
  4. Please enter the administrator password (if applicable / prompted).
  5. Follow the steps in the System Restore Wizard to choose a relevant restore point.
  6. Restore your computer to that backup image.

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

Step 2: If recently installed Extensions for Windows (or related software), uninstall then try reinstalling Extensions for Windows software.

You can uninstall Extensions for Windows software by following these instructions (Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, and 10):

  1. Hit the Windows Start button
  2. In the search box, type "Uninstall" and press "ENTER".

Step 3: Perform a Windows Update.

When the first two steps haven't solved your issue, it might be a good idea to run Windows Update. Many Updater.cpl error messages that are encountered can be contributed to an outdated Windows Operating System. To run Windows Update, please follow these easy steps:

  1. Hit the Windows Start button
  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".
  5. After the update is completed, restart your PC.

If Windows Update failed to resolve the Updater.cpl error message, please proceed to next step. Please note that this final step is recommended for advanced PC users only.
