What are mkl_vml_def.dll Error Messages?

Dynamic Link Library mkl_vml_def.dll Errors

mkl_vml_def.dll is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like mkl_vml_def.dll, are essentially a "guide book" that stores information and instructions for executable (EXE) files - like Setup.exe - to follow. These files were created so that multiple programs (eg. Adobe Audition CS6) could share the same mkl_vml_def.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 mkl_vml_def.dll is attempted to be loaded either when Adobe Audition CS6 is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common mkl_vml_def.dll errors include:

Access Violation at address - mkl_vml_def.dll.
mkl_vml_def.dll could not be found.
Cannot find C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Audition CC 2019\mkl_vml_def.dll.
Cannot register mkl_vml_def.dll.
Cannot start Adobe Audition CS6. A required component is missing: mkl_vml_def.dll. Please install Adobe Audition CS6 again.
Failed to load mkl_vml_def.dll.
The application has failed to start because mkl_vml_def.dll was not found.
The file mkl_vml_def.dll is missing or corrupt.
This application failed to start because mkl_vml_def.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.

Your mkl_vml_def.dll file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with Adobe Audition CS6), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, mkl_vml_def.dll file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading Adobe Audition CS6, system crash while loading mkl_vml_def.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 mkl_vml_def.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 mkl_vml_def.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.

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 mkl_vml_def.dll error, please proceed to the Step 2 below.

Step 2: If recently installed Adobe Audition CS6 (or related software), uninstall then try reinstalling Adobe Audition CS6 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 mkl_vml_def.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 mkl_vml_def.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 mkl_vml_def.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 mkl_vml_def.dll file version. We maintain a comprehensive database of 100% malware-free mkl_vml_def.dll files for every applicable version of Adobe Audition CS6. Please follow the steps below to download and properly replace you file:

Locate your Windows operating system version in the list of below "Download mkl_vml_def.dll Files".
Click the appropriate "Download Now" button and download your Windows file version.
Copy this file to the appropriate Adobe Audition CS6 folder location:

Windows 10: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Audition CC 2019\
Windows 10: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 2020\
Windows 10: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Elements 2020 Organizer\
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.

GEEK TIP : We must emphasize that reinstalling Windows will be a very time-consuming and advanced task to resolve mkl_vml_def.dll problems. To avoid data loss, you must be sure that you have backed-up all of your important documents, pictures, software installers, and other personal data before beginning the process. If you are not currently backing up your data, you need to do so immediately.
