ed_sdk.dll is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like ed_sdk.dll, are essentially a "guide book" that stores information and instructions for executable (EXE) files - like onenoteim.exe - to follow. These files were created so that multiple programs (eg. Paragon Partition Manager Free Edition (64-bit)) could share the same ed_sdk.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 ed_sdk.dll is attempted to be loaded either when Paragon Partition Manager Free Edition (64-bit) is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common ed_sdk.dll errors include:
- Access Violation at address - ed_sdk.dll.
- ed_sdk.dll could not be found.
- Cannot find C:\Program Files\Paragon Software\Partition Manager 14 Free\program\ed_sdk.dll.
- Cannot register ed_sdk.dll.
- Cannot start Paragon Partition Manager Free Edition (64-bit). A required component is missing: ed_sdk.dll. Please install Paragon Partition Manager Free Edition (64-bit) again.
- Failed to load ed_sdk.dll.
- The application has failed to start because ed_sdk.dll was not found.
- The file ed_sdk.dll is missing or corrupt.
- This application failed to start because ed_sdk.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
Your ed_sdk.dll file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with Paragon Partition Manager Free Edition (64-bit)), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, ed_sdk.dll file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading Paragon Partition Manager Free Edition (64-bit), system crash while loading ed_sdk.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.
