vkernel_release_x64.dll is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like vkernel_release_x64.dll, are essentially a "guide book" that stores information and instructions for executable (EXE) files - like MpSigStub.exe - to follow. These files were created so that multiple programs (eg. DAZ Studio) could share the same vkernel_release_x64.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 vkernel_release_x64.dll is attempted to be loaded either when DAZ Studio is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common vkernel_release_x64.dll errors include:
- Access Violation at address - vkernel_release_x64.dll.
- vkernel_release_x64.dll could not be found.
- Cannot find C:\Program Files\DAZ 3D\DAZStudio4\vkernel_release_x64.dll.
- Cannot register vkernel_release_x64.dll.
- Cannot start DAZ Studio. A required component is missing: vkernel_release_x64.dll. Please install DAZ Studio again.
- Failed to load vkernel_release_x64.dll.
- The application has failed to start because vkernel_release_x64.dll was not found.
- The file vkernel_release_x64.dll is missing or corrupt.
- This application failed to start because vkernel_release_x64.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
Your vkernel_release_x64.dll file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with DAZ Studio), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, vkernel_release_x64.dll file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading DAZ Studio, system crash while loading vkernel_release_x64.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.
