How To Fix XINPUT1_3.dll Is Missing Error In Windows 10

The XINPUT1_3.dll is missing error adds to the list of errors related to Windows 10 DLL files, such as the MSVCR100.dll error, the D3DX9_43.dll error, or the MSVCP120.dll error. Most of these errors are usually due to the System not being able to find the DLL library that the message refers to, a message that reads, “The program cannot start because xinput1_3.dll is missing from the computer. “Try reinstalling the program to correct this problem,” “Code execution cannot continue because xinput1_3 dll was not found,” or “The program can’t start because xinput1_3.dll is missing“. Fortunately, the error in question has an easy solution, and on this occasion, we will show how to proceed step by step.

WHAT IS IT, AND HOW TO INSTALL XINPUT1_3 IN WINDOWS 10, WINDOWS 7, AND WINDOWS 8

The XINPUT1_3 library causing the error draws directly from the Visual C++ libraries of Visual Studio. To reinstall the library again, we will have to resort to the native Windows libraries, which we can download from the Microsoft website.

• Download Visual C++ for Windows

Before proceeding with the download, we first have to know the type of System of our computer, which can be 32 or 64 bits. It is as simple as right-clicking on the Windows icon in Start and clicking on System. In System Type, we will be told the amount at which our System runs.

Finally, we will download the version corresponding to our type of System from the tool linked above. For 32-bit systems, we will have to use the x86 version, while for 64-bit systems, we will have to download the x64 file. After installing the program in Windows, we will turn off the computer and restart the machine by clicking on the power button since the traditional restart will not restore the system state correctly.

WHERE TO DOWNLOAD XINPUT1_3.DLL FOR WINDOWS 7, WINDOWS 8, AND WINDOWS 10

If the previous method has not worked, we must manually download and install the XINPUT1_3.dll file.

• Download XINPUT1_3.dll for 32-bit systems
• Download XINPUT1_3.dll for 64-bit systems

Once we have downloaded the file for our type of System, we will right-click on the program that shows us the message XINPUT1_3.dll is missing from the computer on the Desktop, and we will select Open the file location. Next, we will unzip the ZIP file and paste the library into the folder. We will have to repeat this same process as many times as there are problematic programs or games. Fortnite, GTA V, Tropico 6, Xenoverse 2…

The last step to prevent the XINPUT1_3 dll error from being displayed again is to paste the file into the following path:

• C:\Windows\System32\

Finally, we will turn the computer off and turn it on using its power button.

SOLUTION TO XINPUT1_3 DLL ERROR IF THE ABOVE DOES NOT WORK

If none of the above has worked, the last method to solve the XINPUT1_3 dll is missing error is based on using the Command Prompt, which is accessed by typing CMD in the Windows search bar, but not before right-clicking on the program and clicking Run as administrator.

Next, we will write the following command line:

• sfc /scannow

The program will then run a diagnostic tool to scan and repair all corrupted Windows files. We will follow the same shutdown process as in the previous steps when this has finished.
