What are ksapi.dll Error Messages?


Dynamic Link Library ksapi.dll Errors

ksapi.dll is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like ksapi.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 ksapi.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 ksapi.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 ksapi.dll errors include:

Your ksapi.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, ksapi.dll file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading Clean Master for PC, system crash while loading ksapi.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 ksapi.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 ksapi.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

  6. Restore your computer to that backup image.

If the Step 1 fails to resolve the ksapi.dll error, please proceed to the Step 2 below.

Step 2: If recently installed Clean Master for PC (or related software), uninstall then try reinstalling Clean Master for PC software.

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

  1. Hit the Windows Start button
  2. In the search box, type "Update" and press "ENTER".
  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 ksapi.dll error message, please proceed to next step. Please note that this final step is recommended for advanced PC users only.

CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying ksapi.dll to your appropriate Windows system directory. Cheetah Mobile typically does not release Clean Master for PC DLL files for download because they are bundled together inside of a software installer.

An incorrectly installed DLL file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
