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