How to resolve the rundll error encountered during startup after updating to Windows 11?
After a system update, I am prompted with "rundll error - specified module not found" every time the computer starts up. How can I troubleshoot and fix this?

Disable startup items related to Rundll errors in the Startup tab of Task Manager
When the error message appears, note the name of the DLL file (e.g., somefile.dll). If the message doesn’t specify the DLL, proceed with general troubleshooting.
Open Task Manager (Ctrl + Shift + Esc) and go to the Startup tab.
Disable any suspicious or recently added programs.
Restart and see if the error persists.
The "rundll error - specified module not found" message after a system update indicates that your Windows is trying to load a DLL file during startup, but it can't find the specified module. This can happen due to missing, corrupted, or improperly registered DLL files, especially after system updates.
