I just installed the latest version of OpenSCAD on my Windows 10 laptop (64
bit).  When I try to run it, it opens but I can't open any SCAD files. I get
an error that says Error LoadLibrary failed with error 1114: A dynamic link
library (DLL) initialization routine failed.

you.Tim

Is that maybe a Windows N version without media player? https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/OpenSCAD_User_Manual/FAQ#OpenSCAD_fails_to_run_refering_to_EVR.dll,_MF.dll_or_MFPlat.dll_on_Windows ciao, Torsten.

Torsten,

No, it's Windows 10 Home, update 1903.

I don't know if the N variant is shown there. I guess the
question would be: "Do you have the Windows Media Player"
installed?

Maybe someone actually running that N variant could help
finding a place where it's possible to distinguish this
from the "normal" version.

ciao,
Torsten.

From a quick search on google, it seems this error is in general triggered on

a laptop/notebook with a "low power graphic setting" active. So they
recommend to update graphic drivers and try to set an "high performance"
graphic profile.

Bingo! That was it. I have switchable graphics on this laptop (Intel for low
power and AMD for high power). I selected to use the AMD video for OpenSCAD
and it works!

Thank you everyone for all of your suggestions!
