Most often, this problem happens because an old or broken atiadlxx.dll file was left behind from a previous AMD driver installation—especially after a failed update or incomplete uninstall. This guide will help you fix the Atiadlxx.dll issue step by step.
1. Re-install Your Display Driver
A corrupted display driver is one of the main causes of this error, as it can stop certain programs from starting. To keep your system running smoothly, re-install your current display driver using the steps below:
1.1. Uninstall the Driver
1.2. Manually Install the Driver
2. Run System Scans
Make sure your system files are not corrupted by running Windows system scans. These tools check for and fix problems that might cause this error.
3. Manually Register the Atiadlxx.dll File
Unregistered DLL files can lead to errors like this one.
4. Manually Install the Atiadlxx.dll File
Missing DLL files can also trigger this error and stop programs from running. To fix this, you can manually download and install the Atiadlxx.dll file in the program’s folder.
5. Perform an In-place Upgrade
If the error still appears after trying all the above methods, performing an in-place upgrade is a good last resort. This process will update your Windows without deleting your programs, but it’s very important to back up your data first because there is a risk of data loss during the upgrade.
