What are GreenshotPlugin.dll Error Messages?


Dynamic Link Library GreenshotPlugin.dll Errors

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

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



How to Fix GreenshotPlugin.dll 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 GreenshotPlugin.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.

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

  1. Hit the Windows Start button

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 GreenshotPlugin.dll error messages that are encountered can be contributed to an outdated Windows Operating System. To run Windows Update, please follow these easy steps:

  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 GreenshotPlugin.dll error message, please proceed to next step. Please note that this final step is recommended for advanced PC users only.



If Those Steps Fail: Download and Replace Your GreenshotPlugin.dll File (Caution: Advanced)

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


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