Run a PC repair tool like Restoro to seek out and repair missing or corrupt files. Windows 11 has a native app that does this, but it’s not very good. It’s better to use a third-party app. If you previously created a restore point, run it to bring your Windows 11 computer back to an earlier state. Be sure to check out our guide on how to create a restore point if you don’t have one. Also, be mindful of websites online claiming to have a new DLL for you to download.

Otherwise, you’ll have to recreate your PowerPoint presentation from scratch.
1. Re-register the DLL file
2. Run PowerPoint in Clean Boot Mode
3. Repair Microsoft Office
4. Repair Windows via installation media
