To be sure that our exe is actually looking for the DLL, fire up the SysInternals' Process Monitor. - Source: dev.to / 8 months ago

Don't know what PTAT stands for, but whenever I have issues with windows software running properly I pull out Process Monitor to log what that program was doing at the time of the error message. Sometimes there is a clue such as not being able to find a particular file, or registry key, or something else crashing etc. Source: 11 months ago

This might be a bit advanced but if it was me I would probably get frustrated and use SysInternals specifically procmon Https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/procmon. Source: 12 months ago

Used Procmon, Diskmon with a mix of CrystalDiskinfo in my testings to kinda figure out the browsers that did a lot of writing and reading to my old SSD in a ancient laptop I have. You can pretty much get estimates of the ones that use too much Disk resources. Source: 12 months ago

You can use something like Process Monitor (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/procmon) to see what processes are interacting with which registry keys. Source: 12 months ago

Decent chance. But it's conceivably a driver issue. Try reverting to an older driver if you're on the latest. Run DDU (display driver uninstaller from guru3d.com) first. Source: over 1 year ago

If you cannot access that website, then try guru3d.com, you can find it from there too. Source: over 1 year ago

The TUF is a fantastic card. I went with one at launch. Google reviews on guru3d.com to confirm. Source: over 1 year ago
