Why Am I Seeing “There Was a Problem Starting C /Windows/System32/LogiLDA.dll”?

Running into the error ‘there was a problem starting c /windows/system32/logilda.dll’ on your Windows PC can be a headache, especially since it’s connected to Logitech hardware. No worries though, there are some simple fixes you can try.

Step 1: Try reinstalling the Logitech software.
Okay, first things first, head to your Control Panel and find Programs. Click on Uninstall a program to find any Logitech software you have, and yank it out. Once that’s done, jump over to the Logitech Support website, download the latest version, and install it. Got to give your computer a restart too!

Step 2: Disable LogiLDA from startup.
This one’s easy. Hit Ctrl + Shift + Esc to pop open the Task Manager, head over to the Startup tab, find LogiLDA, give it a right-click, and smack ‘Disable’. Afterward, restart your computer and see if that pesky error takes a hike.

Step 3: Update your device drivers.
For this, right-click on the Start button and go for Device Manager. When you get there, expand the section that says Mice and Other Pointing Devices, pick your Logitech device, right-click it, and choose Update driver. Let your computer do its thing by searching automatically for updated driver software.

Step 4: Go registry diving for LogiLDA.dll entries (advanced stuff here).
Feeling adventurous? Press Win + R to bring up the Run dialog, type in regedit, and hit Enter. You’re looking for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run, where you’ll find the LogiLDA entry. Give it a right-click and pick Delete, then close up the Registry Editor and restart.

If flummoxed, it might be a good idea to holla at Logitech support for help. Fingers crossed that these steps do the trick and you can get back to using your PC sans LogiLDA.dll drama.
