Folders containing .dll files placed on desktop after 8.1 update

Cory517 · Oct 10, 2014

Greetings people,
Can anyone tell me not so much why, because every thing else is working fine, but what to do with all of the folders containing amd64 dll files that were placed on my desktop after I updated to Windows 8.1 today? I am sick.

Hi -

I'm not sure what they are or if they are being used or in use. DLLs are usually found in \windows\system32 & \windows\syswow64

I'd like to get a listing of the folders/files in question, please. Perhaps the folder names &/or file names will yield some clues.

Please bring up an Admin CMD prompt. Press WIN + X keys; select "Command Prompt (Admin)"

Paste these 2 commands into the CMD screen - one at a time -

Code:

where /r "%userprofile%\desktop" *.* >c:\0 & start notepad c:\0

Code:

dir /a /s /o:n /q /r /x "%userprofile%\desktop" > c:\00 & start notepad c:\00

A Notepad will open upon the completion of each command.

Please save each as a text file; zip them up and attach to your next post.

Regards. . .
