What are XInput9_1_0.dll Error Messages?


Dynamic Link Library XInput9_1_0.dll Errors

XInput9_1_0.dll is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like XInput9_1_0.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. Steganos Online Shield VPN) could share the same XInput9_1_0.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 XInput9_1_0.dll is attempted to be loaded either when Steganos Online Shield VPN is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common XInput9_1_0.dll errors include:

Your XInput9_1_0.dll file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with Steganos Online Shield VPN), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, XInput9_1_0.dll file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading Steganos Online Shield VPN, system crash while loading XInput9_1_0.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 XInput9_1_0.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 XInput9_1_0.dll issue. These troubleshooting steps are listed in the recommended order of execution.

  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 XInput9_1_0.dll error message, please proceed to next step. Please note that this final step is recommended for advanced PC users only.
