How to fix the missing asacpi.dll in WINDOWS 10

Most asacpi.dll errors are related to missing or corrupt asacpi.dll files. Shutting down your computer incorrectly, or getting a virus, can cause asacip.dll errors.

When you install new software, that uses the asacpi.dll dependency, the software 'should' automatically register the file for you. However, that said, in some cases your DLL file may not register properly, and this will cause a "asacpi.dll not registered" error. You can, fix this through "Microsoft Register Server" (regsvr32.exe), to re-register your asacpi.dll file.

To re-register asacpi.dll, from an elevated (admin privileges) command prompt, do the following:

1. Go to "Start" and type "command" in the search box. DO NOT HIT ENTER (not yet).
2. Now hold down the "CTRL & Shift" keys, then hit "ENTER".
3. You will be prompted with a permission dialog box. Click "Yes".
4. Now type the following command: regsvr32 /u asacpi.dll
5. Then hit "ENTER" and the file will be un-registered.
6. Next type in the following command: regsvr32 /i asacpi.dll
7. Hit ENTER and this will now re-register the file.
8. Now you can close the command prompt window.
9. Now try starting the program that was giving you the error and see if the error continues.

Sometimes asacpi.dll, and other DLL system errors, can be cause by problems in the Windows registry. Several programs can share the same asacpi.dll file, but when these programs are uninstalled or changed, sometimes "orphaned" (invalid) DLL registry entries are left behind.

However, it is not recommended people manually edit their registry unless they really know what they are doing. One can do a lot of damage (and create major headaches) by messing with the registry.

Now, strange (and simple) as it may sound, it is possible the asacpi.dll was just accidentally deleted, and is hiding in your recycle bin. If so, just "Restore" it and the reboot the computer.

At this point (no matter which step(s) above you have followed, I would really recommend that you run a malware and virus scan.

Now if none of the above applies, or fixes the problem, you may want to do a system restore to a point prior to the issue.
