mingwm10.dll is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like mingwm10.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. MediaFire) could share the same mingwm10.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 mingwm10.dll is attempted to be loaded either when MediaFire is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common mingwm10.dll errors include:
- Access Violation at address - mingwm10.dll.
- mingwm10.dll could not be found.
- Cannot find C:\Users\Tester\AppData\Local\MediaFire Desktop\mingwm10.dll.
- Cannot register mingwm10.dll.
- Cannot start MediaFire. A required component is missing: mingwm10.dll. Please install MediaFire again.
- Failed to load mingwm10.dll.
- The application has failed to start because mingwm10.dll was not found.
- The file mingwm10.dll is missing or corrupt.
- This application failed to start because mingwm10.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
Your mingwm10.dll file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with MediaFire), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, mingwm10.dll file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading MediaFire, system crash while loading mingwm10.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.
