What are winbrand.dll Error Messages?


Dynamic Link Library winbrand.dll Errors

winbrand.dll is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like winbrand.dll, are essentially a "guide book" that stores information and instructions for executable (EXE) files - like HelpPane.exe - to follow. These files were created so that multiple programs (eg. Microsoft Office Access 2010) could share the same winbrand.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 winbrand.dll is attempted to be loaded either when Microsoft Office Access 2010 is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common winbrand.dll errors include:

Your winbrand.dll file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with Microsoft Office Access 2010), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, winbrand.dll file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading Microsoft Office Access 2010, system crash while loading winbrand.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 winbrand.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 winbrand.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

Step 2: If recently installed Microsoft Office Access 2010 (or related software), uninstall then try reinstalling Microsoft Office Access 2010 software.

  3. In the Windows Update dialog box, click "Check for Updates" (or similar button depending on your Windows version)

CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying winbrand.dll to your appropriate Windows system directory. Microsoft typically does not release Microsoft Office Access 2010 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 winbrand.dll and all other DLL files for Microsoft Office Access 2010. An incorrectly installed DLL file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
