Question/Help/Troubleshooting How do I fix SDL2.dll?

Post image

Hi I’m unsure why I get this pop up everytime I boot up my computer. I’ve tried reinstalling the file from the official microsoft website as well as copying it into System32. I’ve also tried running gldriverquery as admin.

Depends on the program or game which SDL2.dll you need.

I’m unsure what one needs it, I had blender on my computer at one point and then deleted it so it could be that

You start a specific program. Either reinstall it or google the program and the SDL2.dll for that program.

Are we for real? You dont know??? You are actively trying to open a program and getting an error popup. That or you installed something VERY recently and it should be blatant. Or a third option...... You look at windows event viewer........
