YoutubeModuleUpdate.dll is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like YoutubeModuleUpdate.dll, are essentially a "guide book" that stores information and instructions for executable (EXE) files - like 7z.exe - to follow. These files were created so that multiple programs (eg. CyberLink PowerDVD) could share the same YoutubeModuleUpdate.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 YoutubeModuleUpdate.dll is attempted to be loaded either when CyberLink PowerDVD is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common YoutubeModuleUpdate.dll errors include:
- Access Violation at address - YoutubeModuleUpdate.dll.
- YoutubeModuleUpdate.dll could not be found.
- Cannot find C:\Program Files\CyberLink\PowerDVD19\Common\YoutubeModuleUpdate.dll.
- Cannot register YoutubeModuleUpdate.dll.
- Cannot start CyberLink PowerDVD. A required component is missing: YoutubeModuleUpdate.dll. Please install CyberLink PowerDVD again.
- Failed to load YoutubeModuleUpdate.dll.
- The application has failed to start because YoutubeModuleUpdate.dll was not found.
- The file YoutubeModuleUpdate.dll is missing or corrupt.
- This application failed to start because YoutubeModuleUpdate.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
Your YoutubeModuleUpdate.dll file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with CyberLink PowerDVD), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, YoutubeModuleUpdate.dll file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading CyberLink PowerDVD, system crash while loading YoutubeModuleUpdate.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.
