ps_cxx_fe_kernel.dll is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like ps_cxx_fe_kernel.dll, are essentially a "guide book" that stores information and instructions for executable (EXE) files - like klist.exe - to follow. These files were created so that multiple programs (eg. MATLAB) could share the same ps_cxx_fe_kernel.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 ps_cxx_fe_kernel.dll is attempted to be loaded either when MATLAB is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common ps_cxx_fe_kernel.dll errors include:
- Access Violation at address - ps_cxx_fe_kernel.dll.
- ps_cxx_fe_kernel.dll could not be found.
- Cannot find C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2019b\bin\win64\ps_cxx_fe_kernel.dll.
- Cannot register ps_cxx_fe_kernel.dll.
- Cannot start MATLAB. A required component is missing: ps_cxx_fe_kernel.dll. Please install MATLAB again.
- Failed to load ps_cxx_fe_kernel.dll.
- The application has failed to start because ps_cxx_fe_kernel.dll was not found.
- The file ps_cxx_fe_kernel.dll is missing or corrupt.
- This application failed to start because ps_cxx_fe_kernel.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
Your ps_cxx_fe_kernel.dll file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with MATLAB), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, ps_cxx_fe_kernel.dll file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading MATLAB, system crash while loading ps_cxx_fe_kernel.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.
