Windows 10: WSOCK32.dll is not designed to run on Windows?

0

Just recently I've been getting a pop-up on my home screen every time the computer starts that says:

One Drive - Bad Image C:\Windows\System32\WSOCK32.dll is not designed to run on Windows or contains an error. Error status: 0xc0000020.

Does anyone know how to fix this error?

It sounds like the file may be corrupt. Press WinX and select Command Propmt (Admin). Then type the following:

SFC /SCANNOW

Follow the prompts. This will scan for corrupt Windows files and repair them.

In older versions of Windows, some virus scanners have been known to cause this error. However, I doubt this is the issue, as you are Windows 10.
