A .dll file (abbreviation for dynamic link library) is executed when running exe-based programs. While most are usually unobtrusive and unnoticeable, some are not "packaged" well and can eat up resources, thus slowing your computer down.

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Unlocker software

    Halting dlls

  1. Step 1

    Download and install the "Unlocker" software.

  2. Step 2

    Restart your computer to access safe mode. The process for this can vary, but you usually press "F8" after the first two screens during your computer boot-up.

  3. Step 3

    While in Safe mode, run the Unlocker software. Be patient as it reads the programs you have active.

  4. Step 4

    Find the "C0000135user32.dll" file in the list of files Unlocker displays.

  5. Step 5

    Click the "Kill Process" button. You will be given the option to delete the process. The choice is yours. However, deleting it may cause a program you use frequently to stop working properly.
