What are XInput9_1_0.dll Error Messages?

Dynamic Link Library XInput9_1_0.dll Errors

XInput9_1_0.dll is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like XInput9_1_0.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. Steganos Online Shield VPN) could share the same XInput9_1_0.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 XInput9_1_0.dll is attempted to be loaded either when Steganos Online Shield VPN is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common XInput9_1_0.dll errors include:

Access Violation at address - XInput9_1_0.dll.
XInput9_1_0.dll could not be found.
Cannot find C:\Program Files (x86)\Steganos Online Shield\XInput9_1_0.dll.
Cannot register XInput9_1_0.dll.
Cannot start Steganos Online Shield VPN. A required component is missing: XInput9_1_0.dll. Please install Steganos Online Shield VPN again.
Failed to load XInput9_1_0.dll.
The application has failed to start because XInput9_1_0.dll was not found.
The file XInput9_1_0.dll is missing or corrupt.
This application failed to start because XInput9_1_0.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.

Your XInput9_1_0.dll file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with Steganos Online Shield VPN), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, XInput9_1_0.dll file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading Steganos Online Shield VPN, system crash while loading XInput9_1_0.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 XInput9_1_0.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 XInput9_1_0.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):

Hit the Windows Start button
When you see the search box, type "System Restore" and press "ENTER".
In the search results, find and click System Restore.
Please enter the administrator password (if applicable / prompted).
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 XInput9_1_0.dll error, please proceed to the Step 2 below.

Step 2: If recently installed Steganos Online Shield VPN (or related software), uninstall then try reinstalling Steganos Online Shield VPN software.

You can uninstall Steganos Online Shield VPN software by following these instructions (Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, and 10):

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 XInput9_1_0.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 XInput9_1_0.dll error message, please proceed to next step. Please note that this final step is recommended for advanced PC users only.

We maintain a comprehensive database of 100% malware-free XInput9_1_0.dll files for every applicable version of Steganos Online Shield VPN.

Show 3 more directories +
Windows 8.1: C:\Windows\System32\
Windows 10: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steganos Online Shield\
Windows 10: C:\Windows\System32\

GEEK TIP : We must emphasize that reinstalling Windows will be a very time-consuming and advanced task to resolve XInput9_1_0.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.

Download XInput9_1_0.dll Files (Malware-Tested 100% Clean)

CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying XInput9_1_0.dll to your appropriate Windows system directory. Steganos Software typically does not release Steganos Online Shield VPN 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 XInput9_1_0.dll and all other DLL files for Steganos Online Shield VPN. An incorrectly installed DLL file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
