Untrusted system file c windows system32 dsound dll

Иногда при входе в различные игры возникает ошибка «untrusted system file». После этого загрузка останавливается, и игра в экстренном режиме прекращает работу. В данном материале мы рассмотрим основные пути, как обойти эту проблему.

Данная проблема часто возникает после выхода новых обновлений, но могут быть и другие причины: начиная от неправильной установки игры и заканчивая блокировкой загрузочных файлов антивирусом. Мы лишь рассмотрим самые распространенные способы, которые помогут решить проблему. К сожалению, единой инструкции нет. В каждой конкретной игре могут быть свои тонкости и нюансы. Если у вас лицензионная версия игры, лучше обратиться в тех поддержку.

Способы решения

Ошибка чаще всего возникает после запуска клиента с игрой. Загрузка доходит до 99%, после этого резко останавливается и появляется окно с надписью: «untrusted system file (C/Windows/System32/cryptul.dll). В вашем случае адрес системного файла, на который «жалуется» игра может быть другой.

Первое, что необходимо сделать — это удалить сам Еasyanticheat. Для этого заходим в папку с игрой, далее переходим в папку с бинарными файлами «Binarius» — «Win64» — «Еasyanticheat». В сети есть много мнений, что достаточно лишь удалить папку с сертификатами «Certificates» и проблема будет решена. На самом деле, это не всегда помогает. На некоторое время ошибка действительно пропадет, но вскоре будет появляться снова. Впрочем, в некоторых случаях этот способ действительно может помочь в решении проблемы. Нужно пробовать.

Далее попробуйте переустановить Еasyanticheat. Для этого запустите .exe файл. В выплывающем списке найдите нужную игру, а затем нажмите на кнопку «Помощь в восстановлении». Иногда целесообразнее полностью удалить паку с Еasyanticheat, а затем установить программу заново.

Другие способы

Если вышеперечисленные методы не помогли решить проблему, то она, скорее всего, кроется в самой системе. Нужно проверить Windows на целостность. Подробная инструкция как это сделать находится на официальном сайте Microsoft. Если же у вас Windows 7, то делается эта процедура максимально просто:

1. Нажмите сочетание клавиш Win + R, наберите в появившемся окне cmd и нажмите Enter.
2. В командной строке введите Sfc /Scannow и нажмите Enter.
3. Дождитесь окончания проверки системы.
4. Перезагрузите компьютер.
5. Если проблема сохранится, свяжитесь со службой поддержки EasyAntiCheat.

Если ошибка вновь появляется, просканируйте компьютер на наличие вредоносных программ с помощью антивируса. Также убедитесь, что на вашем компьютере установлены все самые свежие обновления и драйверы. Для этого можете воспользоваться встроенным инструментом Windows либо отдельными утилитами.

The error message ‘Untrusted system file’ in Easy Anti Cheat occurs while loading some game through Steam or Origin.

This error message is vast because it occurs in several variations. The error message indicates some issues with games powered by Easy Anti-Cheat. So, if you play Apex Legends, Fortnite, New World, Rust, War Thunder, Wildlands, or any other game powered by Easy Anti-Cheat, you would have come across this issue.

But before fixing this error message, let’s discuss the probable reasons for this issue.

Why does this Error Message occur?

There are several variations of this error message and, generally, the reasons for its occurrence vary according to its type. But the following are the most common ones observed:

• This error message occurs when Easy Anti-Cheat flags certain game files as ‘untrusted.’

Important: Although Easy Anti-Cheat is a prevention system against hacks and cheats, it is not always correct. Because sometimes, it flags the perfectly normal files incorrectly

• The update of the Steam client on October 8, 2021, changed the ‘steamclient64.dll’ file. Several users have reported the issue after installing this update. So, this updated file could be another reason for this message.
• Sometimes, people face this error message because the servers are down for maintenance. So, in that case, you can check whether Easy Anti-Cheat is down or not on Twitter or other forums.
• This error message also occurs due to some bug in the ‘2.50.1001.0’ version of ‘Xbox Insider Hub.’

How to Fix the ‘Untrusted File System’ Issue?

Make sure to follow up with the description of the error message before proceeding.

Pre-requisite: Running the ‘SFC’ and ‘DISM’ Scans

As we’ve already mentioned, this error message occurs when Easy Anti-Cheat marks some game files as untrusted. So, if you think that the claim of the system is wrong, you can run the ‘SFC’ and ‘DISM’ scans to find out what is causing the ‘.dll’ files corruption.

1. Deleting the Certificates Folder from EasyAntiCheat Directory

Tested for ‘Origin’ Users of ‘Apex Legends’ and ‘The Division 2’

If you face the ‘Type:7’ or some other Easy Anti-Cheat error message with Apex Legends on Origin, we recommend deleting the Certificates folder inside the root directory of ‘EasyAntiCheat’. Because sometimes Easy Anti-Cheat incorrectly flags the perfectly normal files. So, when you delete the ‘Certificates’ folder, it will delete the data of the flagged files.

1. First of all, right-click on the ‘Apex Legends’ icon from the desktop and choose the ‘Properties’ option.
   
2. Now, click on the ‘Open File Location’ button to open the file location of ‘Apex Legends.’
   
3. Double-click on the ‘EasyAntiCheat’ folder inside the root folder of ‘Apex.’
   
4. Now, right-click on the ‘Certificates’ folder and choose the ‘Delete’ option to delete this folder.
   
5. After that, open the ‘Apex Legends’ again to find out whether the error persists or not.

Important: If you are dealing with the ‘System32/phd.dll’ error in ‘The Division 2,’ we recommend going to the ‘Ubisoft Game Launcher’ folder first. Then, navigate to the ‘games’ folder and open the required (game) folder to delete the ‘Certificates’ folder

If this solution has resolved the ‘Easy Anti Cheat Untrusted system file Apex’ error messages, then good for you. Otherwise, try the next solution.

2. Upgrading Windows 10 to Version 1909

Tested for The Division 2

If you see a black screen after following the steps of Solution # 1 for Division 2, we recommend updating your Windows-10 version to 1909.

Important: You can also apply this solution if your game crashes on the desktop after deleting the ‘Certificates’ folder

The conventional way of updating the Windows is through ‘Settings’ < ‘Update & Security’ < ‘Windows Update’ options. But this way will not work for everyone because everyone would be using a different version of Windows 10. So, in that case, we will install Windows-10 version 1909 manually.

After installing the mentioned version, check whether this solution has proved useful or not. If yes, then good for you. Otherwise, try the next solution.

3. Reinstalling the ‘Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Package’

If you face the phd.dll Untrusted system file error with Division 2, it might be because of the supporting software called Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Package. So, reinstalling this supporting software will fix this issue because it has worked for other users.

1. First, open any browser and type ‘Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Package’ in the search bar.
2. Once the browser has opened the required result, choose the one with ‘Latest supported Visual C++ Redistributable downloads’ as its title.
   
3. The browser will take you to the official documentation website of Microsoft. So, scroll down and choose the version of ‘vc_redist’ according to your system architecture.

Important: Click on the link against your required system architecture to begin the downloading

1. Once the downloading is complete, double-click on the file to begin the installation.
2. Then, check the ‘I agree to the license terms and conditions’ option and click on the ‘Install’ button.
   
3. The system will initialize the process and, after some time, you will see the progress bar moving. Wait for the system to complete the installation procedure
   
4. Once the process is complete, click on the ‘Restart’ button to restart your system because it is necessary for the proper installation and working of the ‘Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Package.’
   

After the system restarts, check whether or not this solution has solved this error message. If yes, then good for you. Otherwise, try the next solution.

4. Disabling the Process ‘xgameruntime’

Temporary Solution

If you face the error message along with the (C:WindowsSystem32xgameruntime.dll) error message from Easy Anti-Cheat, we recommend killing the (specified) process. But this is a temporary solution and you will have to apply the same procedure whenever this error message occurs.

1. First of all, open the ‘Task Manager’ from the ‘Start menu.’
   
2. Then, click on the ‘More details’ option in the ‘Task Manager.’
   
3. After that, find the ‘xgameruntime’ process in the ‘Process’ tab of ‘Task Manager.’

Important: This process should be under ‘Gaming Services’ and you need to expand it to find out the ‘xgameruntime’ process

1. Once you have found the required process, right-click on it and choose the ‘End task’ option.
   

Note: You can apply the same procedure for different processes, causing the same error message

If the error message persists or you don’t want to use this temporary solution, we recommend trying the next solution.

5. Unregistering the System from ‘Xbox Insider Hub’

Downloading the Newer Version of ‘Gaming Services’

As mentioned earlier, this error message occurs in the 2.50.1001.0 version of Xbox Insider Hub. So, if you face this error message, we recommend unregistering your system from Xbox Insider Hub and downloading the ‘2.47.10001.0’ version of ‘Gaming Services.’

Steps for Unregistering from ‘Xbox Insider Hub’

1. First of all, open the ‘Xbox Insider Hub’ application from the ‘Start menu.’
   
2. Then, navigate to the ‘Previews’ section and unenroll from ‘Windows Gaming.’
   

Important: You can also choose to unenroll from everything you have joined

1. Once unenrolled, restart your system by going to the ‘Start’ < ‘Power’ < ‘Restart’ options.
   

Note: Don’t skip the system restarting. Otherwise, this solution will not work for you

Steps for Removing and Reinstalling the ‘Gaming Services’ Application

1. After the system restarts, open ‘Windows PowerShell’ as ‘Administrator.’
   
2. Now, type the following command in ‘Windows PowerShell’ and hit the ‘Enter’ key to execute this command:

get-appxpackage Microsoft.GamingServices | remove-AppxPackage -allusers

Important: The above command will call the ‘Gaming Services’ and remove it from your system

1. Now, type the following command and hit the ‘Enter’ key (again) for executing it:

start ms-windows-store://pdp/?productid=9MWPM2CQNLHN

1. The system will directly open the install page of ‘Gaming Services’ from ‘Microsoft Store.’ So, click on the ‘Install’ button to install the ‘Gaming Services’ application on your system.
   
2. Once you have successfully installed the application, go back to the ‘Windows PowerShell’ and execute the following command:

get-appxpackage Microsoft.GamingServices

1. Now, ‘Windows PowerShell’ will list all the information regarding the ‘Gaming Services’ application. So, make sure the ‘Version’ entry says ‘2.47.10001.0’ because it is the stable version that has worked for others.
   

After that, execute the game again and check whether the error persists or not. If yes, then try the next solution.

1. Then, double-click on the ‘C’ drive, and after that, double-click on the ‘Program Files (x86)’ folder.
   
2. Now, find the ‘Steam’ folder inside the newly opened folder and open it.
   
3. Then, open the ‘steamapps’ folder inside the ‘Steam’ folder.

7. Running the ‘Easy Anti-Cheat launcher’ as ‘Administrator’

8. Replacing the Current ‘steamclient64.dll’ File with the Previous One

Steam released an update on October 8, 2021, in which they changed the ‘steamclient64.dll’ file, which is causing this issue. So, replacing the updated file with the previous version will fix this issue.

Important: Apply this procedure while keeping the ‘Steam’ open. Otherwise, this solution will not work
