What are d3d11ref.dll Error Messages?


Dynamic Link Library d3d11ref.dll Errors

d3d11ref.dll is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like d3d11ref.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. PerformanceTest) could share the same d3d11ref.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 d3d11ref.dll is attempted to be loaded either when PerformanceTest is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common d3d11ref.dll errors include:

Your d3d11ref.dll file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with PerformanceTest), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, d3d11ref.dll file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading PerformanceTest, system crash while loading d3d11ref.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.

If you're encountering one of the error messages above, follow these troubleshooting steps to resolve your d3d11ref.dll 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.

Download d3d11ref.dll Files (Malware-Tested 100% Clean)


CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying d3d11ref.dll to your appropriate Windows system directory. PassMark Software typically does not release PerformanceTest DLL 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 d3d11ref.dll and all other DLL files for PerformanceTest. An incorrectly installed DLL file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
