Error loading type library/DLL while copying files from phone to Pc through Usb

Does this happen on all computers or just one specific computer?
One of my tablets is running Kitkat and I have a 32 bit Windows Home Premium computer. I attach my tablet to the computer and can move pictures from the tablet to the computer. I have never tried moving anything other than pictures. What are you trying to move?
The phone shown in your screenshot is this
Xiaomi Redmi Note 4G - Full phone specifications
which runs android, either Jellybean or KitKat.
Unfortunately when I search the error you are seeing "Error loading type library/DLL", I don't see anything dealing with android. I see that error related to specific Windows programs. At this point I haven't a clue as to what Windows program is shooting up that error because no information is given to you in the error box.
A workaround would be to email the file you want to move to the computer from the phone. Then select the email on your computer and download the file.
Another workaround: put a blank microsd card in the slot, move or copy the files you want onto the card. Remove the card from the phone and put it in a card reader on the computer and move it from the card to the computer.
A third workaround: move or copy the files you want to a googledrive account from your phone. Open the googledrive on the computer and download the files.
A few hardware things you might try. Use a different cable to connect the phone to the computer. Try all the different USB ports on the computer. Do not connect the phone through a USB hub but connect it directly to the USB port.

Thank you for the reply.
It happens only in one computer.
I have checked with different phone like Samsung J7 & Moto G5 Plus, same problem with them too.
Tried using different cables, same problem.
Tried copying in safe mode, the files copied easily.
I have huge video files, so its a bit difficult using G drive to copy all files. I think its a Dll issue but the error doesn't mention the dll file.
Is there a way to detect the rogue dll to pin point the issue. I have tries using sfc /scannow, but it was futile- gave no errors.
Btw files from usb drive copied easily.

Probably but I don't know how to do it.
Since it works correctly in safe mode when the drivers aren't loaded, I'd guess that it is a dll with a loaded driver when Windows loads completely.
So the place to look would probably be the drivers.
Hi Chayanb (and plodr). :welcome:
Did you already try to reinstall the programs provided by your manufacturers' phones?

As far as I am aware, there is no "program" to install on an android phone/tablet. You simply attach the device to a Windows computer, open file Explorer and look through the files to decide what you want to move. I own 3 devices and I have not installed an app to move files.
