What are SGCFLTR.dll Error Messages?


Dynamic Link Library SGCFLTR.dll Errors

SGCFLTR.dll is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like SGCFLTR.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. Canon Pixma MP250) could share the same SGCFLTR.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 SGCFLTR.dll is attempted to be loaded either when Canon Pixma MP250 is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common SGCFLTR.dll errors include:

Your SGCFLTR.dll file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with Canon Pixma MP250), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, SGCFLTR.dll file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading Canon Pixma MP250, system crash while loading SGCFLTR.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 SGCFLTR.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 SGCFLTR.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):

  1. Hit the Windows Start button
  2. When you see the search box, type "System Restore" and press "ENTER".
  3. In the search results, find and click System Restore.
  4. Please enter the administrator password (if applicable / prompted).
  5. Follow the steps in the System Restore Wizard to choose a relevant restore point.
  6. Restore your computer to that backup image.

If the Step 1 fails to resolve the SGCFLTR.dll error, please proceed to the Step 2 below.

Step 2: If recently installed Canon Pixma MP250 (or related software), uninstall then try reinstalling Canon Pixma MP250 software.

You can uninstall Canon Pixma MP250 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 SGCFLTR.dll error messages that are encountered can be contributed to an outdated Windows Operating System. To run Windows Update, please follow these easy steps:

  1. Hit the Windows Start button
  2. In the search box, type "Update" and press "ENTER".
  3. In the Windows Update dialog box, click "Check for Updates" (or similar button depending on your Windows version)
  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 SGCFLTR.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 SGCFLTR.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 SGCFLTR.dll file version. We maintain a comprehensive database of 100% malware-free SGCFLTR.dll files for every applicable version of Canon Pixma MP250.

    Windows 10: C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\mp250sc.inf_amd64_2f5733f5d48890e1\
  4. Restart your computer.

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


CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying SGCFLTR.dll to your appropriate Windows system directory. Canon Inc. typically does not release Canon Pixma MP250 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 SGCFLTR.dll and all other DLL files for Canon Pixma MP250. An incorrectly installed DLL file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
