Fix: “FMediaLibraryView.dll was not found” Error in Wondershare Filmora

The error message “The code execution cannot proceed because FMediaLibraryView.dll was not found” appears when Wondershare Filmora fails to locate or load an essential DLL file needed to start its media library module.

The FMediaLibraryView.dll file is responsible for initializing Filmora’s media library interface and managing linked resources. If this file becomes deleted, corrupted, or not properly registered during installation, Windows cannot launch the application, leading to this startup failure.

Now that you understand the reason behind this error, follow the solutions below to restore Filmora and get it running again.

1. Reinstall Wondershare Filmora

Since the missing DLL is part of Filmora’s installation package, reinstalling the software replaces all damaged or missing components with fresh ones. This is the most reliable first step.

1. Press Win + R, type appwiz.cpl, and press Enter.
2. Find Wondershare Filmora in the list and select Uninstall.
3. When prompted, select any reason and click Continue.
4. Enable Remove all the effects resource files and click Remove.
5. Once uninstalled, visit the official Wondershare Filmora website.
6. Click Get Started For Free to download the latest setup file.
7. Run the downloaded installer and complete the setup process.
8. After installation, launch Filmora to confirm the error no longer appears.

2. Restore Blocked DLL Files from Antivirus Protection History

Sometimes antivirus software mistakenly quarantines Filmora’s DLL files, assuming they pose a threat. If FMediaLibraryView.dll or any related file is blocked, restoring it can immediately resolve the issue.

1. Press Win + S, type Windows Security, and open it.
2. Go to Virus & threat protection.
3. Scroll down and click Protection history.
4. Look for any entries related to FMediaLibraryView.dll or FCommonView.dll. If found, select Allow on device or Restore.
5. After restoring, restart Filmora to see if the issue is fixed.

3. Whitelist Wondershare Filmora in Your Antivirus

If your antivirus continues to interfere with Filmora, adding the program folder to the exclusion list prevents it from scanning or blocking any DLL files during startup.

1. Press Win + S and search for Virus & threat protection.
2. Click Manage settings.
3. Under Exclusions, choose Add or remove exclusions.
4. Click Add an exclusion and select Folder.
5. Add all Wondershare Filmora installation folders (for example, Program Files and AppData locations).
6. Restart your computer to apply these changes.
7. After restarting, open Filmora again to verify that the error is resolved.

If the error persists even after exclusions are set, perform another reinstallation while the antivirus exclusions remain active. This ensures no essential DLLs are removed or blocked during installation, allowing Filmora to function smoothly.
