ERROR Download Assistent url.dll

I suddenly can not use the Download Assistent anymore. I always receive the following error message:

Welcome to the Forum.

Die you install the latest release of the Download Assistant?

https://helpcenter.steinberg.de/hc/en-us

yes, I have installed the latest version.

Something is broken with that app on your system.

You should, in this order

  1. uninstall Steinberg Download Assistant
  2. delete the directory %localappdata%\Steinberg Download Assistant
  3. Install the Steinberg Download Assistant from this page: Steinberg Download Assistant | Steinberg

I tried this and removed also ‘Download Assistent’ anywhere I could find it, but after installing it anew, it still shows the same error.

… are you running a 32bit Windows by any chance?

No, 64bit. So weird, … never had an issue like this before.

There may be some file corruption going on.
Try running sfc /scannow from an admin level command prompt. See if it logs any attempts at file repair.

Hi, the SFC /SCANNOW command fixed it!
