Wally’s Answer: DLL errors in Windows 10 can be a bit confusing to most people. In many instances, these errors are related to system files and cannot be fixed simply by replacing the file. Replacing DLL files works only if the DLL file is the same version, which depends on the build of Windows and can get complicated. But, don’t worry. We can fix most DLL errors using the DISM and SFC commands in Windows 8 and Windows 10.
Problem
Windows 10 is showing an error while loading a resource DLL file. The error displays the following text and does not allow Windows to load: Resource DLL Power Manager Gauge
Cause
This error is disproportionately frequent in case of Lenovo laptops. It is possible that the Power Manager utility installed by Lenovo is the case of these issues. However, this issue can also be caused by other reasons.
Solution
Here are some ways to fix the Power Manager Gauge DLL error:
Power Manager Gauge Issue in Lenovo Laptops
If you’re using a Lenovo ThinkPad then the ”Power Manager Gauge Error” might have been caused by the Power Manager tool installed on Lenovo laptops. It is a power management software which you can remove if you don’t need it.
Please start Windows 10 in Safe Mode and uninstall the Power Manager tool from “Programs and Features”. Press the Windows Key + X and click Programs and Features.
Find Power Manager from the list of programs and uninstall it. Restart the computer and see if this fixes the problem.
Try Using The DISM Command Line Tool
The DISM Command Line Tool fixes the backup copy of system files inside Windows 10 “Windows Recovery Image”. Press Windows Key + X to see a menu appear and choose Command Prompt (Admin) from the list.
Now, type the following command DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth and press Enter to run it Wait until the scan is finished.
This can take 30 minutes or more. DISM will try to use Windows update to replace damaged files. Please read a more comprehensive guide on how to use the DISM tool here if you want to use additional commands.

The SFC command scans all Windows system files and replaces damaged files after comparing them to the “Windows Recovery image”.
