What are SDExt.dll Error Messages?

Dynamic Link Library SDExt.dll Errors

SDExt.dll is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like SDExt.dll, are essentially a "guide book" that stores information and instructions for executable (EXE) files - like OneDriveSetup.exe - to follow. These files were created so that multiple programs (eg. Star Downloader Free) could share the same SDExt.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 SDExt.dll is attempted to be loaded either when Star Downloader Free is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common SDExt.dll errors include:

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

Your SDExt.dll file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with Star Downloader Free), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, SDExt.dll file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading Star Downloader Free, system crash while loading SDExt.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 SDExt.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 SDExt.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 SDExt.dll error, please proceed to the Step 2 below.

Step 2: If recently installed Star Downloader Free (or related software), uninstall then try reinstalling Star Downloader Free software.

You can uninstall Star Downloader Free software by following these instructions (Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, and 10):

Hit the Windows Start button
In the search box, type "Uninstall" and press "ENTER".
In the search results, find and click "Add or Remove Programs"

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

If Those Steps Fail: Download and Replace Your SDExt.dll File (Caution: Advanced)

If none of the previous three troubleshooting steps have resolved your issue, you can try a more aggressive approach (Note: Not recommended for amateur PC users) by downloading and replacing your appropriate SDExt.dll file version. We maintain a comprehensive database of 100% malware-free SDExt.dll files for every applicable version of Star Downloader Free.
