The logiLDA.dll error message may pop up on your screen when Windows starts up. The message states: “There was a problem starting C:WindowsSystem32LogiLDA.dll. The specified module could not be found.” Many users have reported that the ‘logiLDA.dll missing’ error starts to appear after upgrading to a newer version of Windows, including the latest Windows 10 1903 update.
The error is attributed to Logitech Download Assistant, which is an obsolete utility that’s been installed on your PC together with other Logitech drivers some time ago. Even if you are no longer using your old Logitech device, logiLDA.dll still launches every time your system starts up, and there is no clear understanding or explanation from Logitech as to why their utility behaves this way.
Most ‘how-to’ articles suggest disabling logiLDA via Task Manager. This does not always solve the issue, as Logitech Download Assistant has multiple entries in the Windows Registry. The best way to get rid of the annoying ‘logiLDA.dll could not be found’ error is to fully remove any traces of Logitech Download Assistant from your system.
