AutoUpdate.dll is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like AutoUpdate.dll, 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. EaseUS Deleted File Recovery) could share the same AutoUpdate.dll 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 DLL 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 AutoUpdate.dll is attempted to be loaded either when EaseUS Deleted File Recovery is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common AutoUpdate.dll errors include:
- Access Violation at address - AutoUpdate.dll.
- AutoUpdate.dll could not be found.
- Cannot find C:\Program Files (x86)\EASEUS\EASEUS Deleted File Recovery 3.0.1\AutoUpdate.dll.
- Cannot register AutoUpdate.dll.
- Cannot start EaseUS Deleted File Recovery. A required component is missing: AutoUpdate.dll. Please install EaseUS Deleted File Recovery again.
- Failed to load AutoUpdate.dll.
- The application has failed to start because AutoUpdate.dll was not found.
- The file AutoUpdate.dll is missing or corrupt.
- This application failed to start because AutoUpdate.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
Your AutoUpdate.dll file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with EaseUS Deleted File Recovery), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, AutoUpdate.dll file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading EaseUS Deleted File Recovery, system crash while loading AutoUpdate.dll, 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.
