Install any available Windows updates. Many service packs and other patches replace or update some of the hundreds of Microsoft distributed DLL files on your computer. The initpki.dll file could be included in one of those updates.
Test your memory and then test your hard drive. I've left the majority of hardware troubleshooting to the last step, but your computer's memory and hard drive are easy to test and are the most likely components that might cause initpki.dll errors as they fail.
If the hardware fails any of your tests, replace the memory or replace the hard drive as soon as possible.
Repair your installation of Windows. If the individual initpki.dll file troubleshooting advice above is unsuccessful, performing a startup repair or repair installation should restore all Windows DLL files to their working versions.
Use a free registry cleaner to repair initpki.dll related issues in the registry. A free registry cleaner program may be able to help by removing invalid initpki.dll registry entries that might be causing the DLL error.
We rarely recommend the use of registry cleaners. We've included the option here as a 'last resort' attempt before the destructive step coming up next.
Perform a clean installation of Windows. A clean install of Windows will erase everything from the hard drive and install a fresh copy of Windows. If none of the steps above correct the initpki.dll error, this should be your next course of action.
All the information on your hard drive will be erased during a clean install. Make sure you've made the best attempt possible to fix the initpki.dll error using a troubleshooting step prior to this one.
Troubleshoot for a hardware problem if any initpki.dll errors persist. After a clean install of Windows, your DLL problem can only be hardware related.
