ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR is a browser problem that pops when there is difficulty in validating the SSL certificate on websites that you are trying to visit. SSL certificate is something a website owner acquires for money to merge from HTTP to HTTPS domain type for ensuring better security of data transmitted. You can clearly see if a website you visit has this certificate by looking at the icon before the domain name. If the certificate there is present, you will see an icon that looks like a gray or green lock. In most cases, your browser will write "This site can’t provide a secure connection" exactly when the SSL certificate failed to undergo validation. While there is no single reason for why this occurs, it is usually the conflict issue that got prompted by something. The list of culprits behind it can range from conflicting extensions, firewalls of third-party antimalware that blocks access to websites, over cached SSL state, and even incorrect time & date set on your PC - yes, that can be possible too!

On the initial basis, RunDLL (also RunDLL32.exe) is an integral file of Dynamic Link Library modules that function in correlation with the Windows Registry. The proper operation of all DLL files is meant to ensure faster response speed and memory management while using various apps and Windows processes. If one of such files has been deleted, is missing, or Windows is simply unable to verify its location, the system will prompt a box alert with a relevant message about the error that happened. DLL files stated in error messages can vary vastly, depending on which one of them failed to undergo successful verification by Windows. We have already had multiple guides dedicated to some popular RunDLL errors with files like MSVCP110.dll, D3D12.dll, VCRUNTIME140.dll, CONCRT140.dll, MSVCR110.dll, and API-MS-WIN-CRT-RUNTIME-l1-1-0.dll as well. As a rule, users who receive RunDLL errors can encounter messages with slightly different content and also a specified directory where the file could not be found.

ERR_CONNECTION_CLOSED is a frequently-encountered error when trying to open some page in the Google Chrome browser. It happens when Chrome fails to establish connection with a page being loaded - and that is quite obvious. The reason for that, though, could be one out of many.

Luckily, our solutions below should be enough to forget about the problem and start using the necessary page or pages again. Follow along and try each of them until one finally does it.

0x8000000b is a widespread error that some users may face while trying to add a new third-party account (Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, etc.) to the native Mail app on Windows. This application is built-in and can be extremely useful for managing emails in different accounts without leaving the desktop. The reason why such an error occurs is problems with syncing - that the Mail app is unable to establish a connection with an external e-mail server. This can happen due to some third-party or even native firewall blocking connection requests, disabled POP and (IMAP) settings, or even a bug in the Mail app itself. As a result, a message saying "Something went wrong. We're sorry, but we weren't able to do that." stretches over the screen and stops users from adding the account. In rarer cases, the same error may also take place when trying to send an e-mail message from one of the already-added accounts. Whatever it is, we have a list of solutions that might be able to help. Follow our guide below to try each one of them and deal with the problem eventually!
