What are TfKernel.dll Error Messages?


Dynamic Link Library TfKernel.dll Errors

TfKernel.dll is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like TfKernel.dll, are essentially a "guide book" that stores information and instructions for executable (EXE) files - like 7za.exe - to follow. These files were created so that multiple programs (eg. Adobe Photoshop) could share the same TfKernel.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 TfKernel.dll is attempted to be loaded either when Adobe Photoshop is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common TfKernel.dll errors include:

Your TfKernel.dll file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with Adobe Photoshop), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, TfKernel.dll file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading Adobe Photoshop, system crash while loading TfKernel.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 TfKernel.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 TfKernel.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
  2. When you see the search box, type "System Restore" and press "ENTER".
  3. In the search results, find and click System Restore.
  4. Please enter the administrator password (if applicable / prompted).
  5. Follow the steps in the System Restore Wizard to choose a relevant restore point.
  6. Restore your computer to that backup image.

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

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

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

  1. Hit the Windows Start button
  2. In the search box, type "Uninstall" and press "ENTER".

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 TfKernel.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 TfKernel.dll error message, please proceed to next step. Please note that this final step is recommended for advanced PC users only.

Download TfKernel.dll Files (Malware-Tested 100% Clean)


CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying TfKernel.dll to your appropriate Windows system directory. Adobe Systems Incorporated typically does not release Adobe Photoshop DLL files for download because they are bundled together inside of a software installer. The installer's task is to ensure that all correct verifications have been made before installing and placing TfKernel.dll and all other DLL files for Adobe Photoshop. An incorrectly installed DLL file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
