What are OpenglSwitcherAPI.dll Error Messages?


Dynamic Link Library OpenglSwitcherAPI.dll Errors

OpenglSwitcherAPI.dll is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like OpenglSwitcherAPI.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. Movavi Video Converter 2020) could share the same OpenglSwitcherAPI.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 OpenglSwitcherAPI.dll is attempted to be loaded either when Movavi Video Converter 2020 is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common OpenglSwitcherAPI.dll errors include:

Your OpenglSwitcherAPI.dll file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with Movavi Video Converter 2020), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, OpenglSwitcherAPI.dll file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading Movavi Video Converter 2020, system crash while loading OpenglSwitcherAPI.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.

  4. If updates are available for download, click "Install Updates".
  5. After the update is completed, restart your PC.

If Windows Update failed to resolve the OpenglSwitcherAPI.dll error message, please proceed to next step. Please note that this final step is recommended for advanced PC users only.
