Explanation

Event Viewer logs detailed records of system events, errors, warnings, and informational messages in Windows. When a DLL error occurs at startup, Windows logs the event - including the source application, the specific DLL that is missing, and the error code - in the Application or System log within Event Viewer. This allows the technician to identify exactly which program is causing the error. msinfo32.exe (A) provides a system information summary but does not show real-time error events. System Recovery Options (B) is used for repairing boot issues, not diagnosing DLL errors. Programs and Features (D) manages installed applications but does not log runtime errors.
