XINPUT1_3.DLL is missing

[ncowan]

I've got direct x 11 installed on Windows 8.1 and I have restarted my laptop a few times but it still shows this error.


How do I fix this?



XINPUT1_3.DLL is missing. please reinstall.



I know manually messing with DLL files is probably a bad idea, but Any clue as to how to fix this?



Thanks!​

No like, what are you trying to do when you get this error? Are you starting a game? If so, what game?
