When you try to open a file or an application, you might encounter the “No such interface supported” error message on your Windows 10/11 desktop computer. This error indicates that Windows cannot launch the file or application due to some problem with the system files, or the DLL files. Fortunately, there are a few fixes to troubleshoot this error and this guide will help you with it.
Due to corrupted system files, or missing DLL files, you might encounter the “No such interface supported” error on your Windows desktop. You can fix it by running SFC, DISM, and CHKDSK scans or by re-registering DLL files using the Command Prompt, here are the detailed steps for the same:
Corrupted system files can cause the “No such interface supported” error message to trigger. To check and repair them, you can use the System File Checker (SFC) tool that comes built-in with Windows operating system. Hence, to run an SFC scan, follow these steps:
sfc /scannow
Another tool you can try to fix this error is the Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM). This tool can scan and restore the health of your Windows image. To run DISM, follow these steps:
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
Press the ‘Enter’ key on your keyboard, and after the DISM scan finishes, restart your Windows desktop to fix the issue.
If there are any errors or bad sectors on your hard drive, they might also cause a “No such interface supported” error. To check and fix them, you can use the Check Disk (CHKDSK) utility on your Windows desktop, and you can do it by following these steps:
chkdsk X: /f /r
If none of the above methods work, you might need to re-register some DLL files that are related to the “No such interface supported” error. DLL files are dynamic link libraries that contain code and data used by various programs. Sometimes they might get unregistered or corrupted due to various reasons. Hence, to reregister DLL, follow these steps:
regsvr32 “%SystemRoot%\System32\actxprxy.dll”
FOR /R C:\ %G IN (*.dll) DO “%systemroot%\system32\regsvr32.exe” /s “%G”
