Solution 3: Copy the physxloader.dll file from your friend’s PC

If unfortunately, all the previous methods fails to help, you can copy the  physxloader.dll file from a PC that runs the same Windows system as yours.

Part 1: Check your Windows system type and find a computer that runs the same system with yours.

Here’s how you can check Windows type of a computer:

1. On your keyboard, press the Windows logo key to bring up the Search box.
2. Type system information and then select System Information from the result.

   

3. You should then see the system type of the computer.

   

Part 2: Copy the physxloader.dll file from the working computer and then paste it to the problem computer.

Here’s how you can find the dll file:

1. On the keyboard of the working computer, press the Windows logo key and E at the same time to bring up the File Explorer. 
2. Go to C:\Windows\System32, then type physxloader.dll and press Enter. If it shows no results, go to C:\Windows\SysWOW64 instead and search physxloader.dll again.

   

3. Copy the physxloader.dll file if found and paste it into the same location as where you copy the file in your problem computer.

Note: Keep in mid that not every computer with the same system type has the dll file you want to restore, so this method is not always successful either.
