I have recently started getting error messages that basically say dnsapi.dll is missing or corrupted please try reinstalling this program. I have looked up this problem and have found a lot of reports on this error most likely being caused by a glitch on windows defender, but the problem is I have cleared my quarantine and deleted it thinking it was the cause of the error.
