What are LocalService.dll Error Messages?

Dynamic Link Library LocalService.dll Errors

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

Access Violation at address - LocalService.dll.
LocalService.dll could not be found.
Cannot find C:\Program Files (x86)\Foxit Software\Foxit Reader\LocalService.dll.
Cannot register LocalService.dll.
Cannot start Foxit Reader. A required component is missing: LocalService.dll. Please install Foxit Reader again.
Failed to load LocalService.dll.
The application has failed to start because LocalService.dll was not found.
The file LocalService.dll is missing or corrupt.
This application failed to start because LocalService.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.

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

Hit the Windows Start button
When you see the search box, type "System Restore" and press "ENTER".
In the search results, find and click System Restore.
Please enter the administrator password (if applicable / prompted).
Follow the steps in the System Restore Wizard to choose a relevant restore point.
Restore your computer to that backup image.

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

Step 2: If recently installed Foxit Reader (or related software), uninstall then try reinstalling Foxit Reader software.

You can uninstall Foxit Reader software by following these instructions (Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, and 10):

Hit the Windows Start button
In the search box, type "Uninstall" and press "ENTER".
In the search results, find and click "Add or Remove Programs"
Find the entry for Foxit Reader 9.6.0.25114 and click "Uninstall"

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

Hit the Windows Start button
In the search box, type "Update" and press "ENTER".
In the Windows Update dialog box, click "Check for Updates" (or similar button depending on your Windows version)
If updates are available for download, click "Install Updates".
After the update is completed, restart your PC.

If Windows Update failed to resolve the LocalService.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 LocalService.dll File (Caution: Advanced)

If none of the previous three troubleshooting steps have resolved your issue, you can try a more aggressive approach (Note: Not recommended for amateur PC users) by downloading and replacing your appropriate LocalService.dll file version. We maintain a comprehensive database of 100% malware-free LocalService.dll files for every applicable version of Foxit Reader.

Windows 10: C:\Program Files (x86)\Foxit Software\Foxit Reader\
Windows 10: C:\Program Files\WinZip\
Restart your computer.

If this final step has failed and you're still encountering the error, you're only remaining option is to do a clean installation of Windows 10.
