Hello,

Can you do the following to look for "dnsapi.dll" files on your computer ?

  • Download SEAF : https://toolslib.net/downloads/viewdownload/155-seaf/
  • Right-click on the icon -> Execute as Administrator.
  • In the search field, type "dnsapi.dll".
  • Then, start the search. A report will open when the search is over (it contains the search results). Please share it here.
