UWPHelper.dll is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like UWPHelper.dll, are essentially a "guide book" that stores information and instructions for executable (EXE) files - like AppInstaller.exe - to follow. These files were created so that multiple programs (eg. Dxtory) could share the same UWPHelper.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 UWPHelper.dll is attempted to be loaded either when Dxtory is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common UWPHelper.dll errors include:
- Access Violation at address - UWPHelper.dll.
- UWPHelper.dll could not be found.
- Cannot find C:\Program Files (x86)\ExKode\Dxtory2.0\UWPHelper.dll.
- Cannot register UWPHelper.dll.
- Cannot start Dxtory. A required component is missing: UWPHelper.dll. Please install Dxtory again.
- Failed to load UWPHelper.dll.
- The application has failed to start because UWPHelper.dll was not found.
- The file UWPHelper.dll is missing or corrupt.
- This application failed to start because UWPHelper.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
Your UWPHelper.dll file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with Dxtory), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, UWPHelper.dll file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading Dxtory, system crash while loading UWPHelper.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.
