Chakra.dll Uses and How to Fix Error?

The authentic chakra.dll file is a key component of the 32-bit version of the 9th version of Internet Explorer created by the Windows Operating System. Chakra.dll is also used by Microsoft Edge and is a safe file.

File Size and Location

Chakra.dll can be located in the C:\Windows\System32\ folder and the program usually takes up around 5.8 MB of space. However, there might be several copies of the Chakra.dll file in Windows 10 that could be located under the C:\Windows\SysWOW64\ folder too.

Here is how an original Chakra.dll file will look like under the SysWow64 directory:

Quick Overview

Features of Chakra.dll

This Chakra.dll file was originally developed by Microsoft for its own browser called Microsoft Edge (earlier known as Internet Explorer). It is basically a JavaScript engine that is required to run Edge smoothly.

The most prominent feature of this engine is its ability to just-in-time compile scripts on a distinct CPU core which runs analogous to the web browser and in turn, optimizes its rendering and marshaling.

If you are not happy with Edge then you may consider these popular browsers for Windows.

• “Problem starting C:\Windows\System32\Chakra.dll on the black screen/ frozen screen”
