I was playing a SNES game on Bizhawk (DCK2). After turning it off, I later tried opening it again and stopped working. Note that this occured after recording footage of the game. Will I have to download another version?

See if your Anti-virus software has deleted any .dll files from Bizhawk. I know Norton loves to do that, despite me telling it over and over again that they're trusted files; so I keep on having to restore them.

I did a full scan / file deletion with System Mechanic right before it happened. I don't think you can recover them though.

1. you can recover deleted files depending on how you deleted it and what OS/filesystem you use. for example https://www.piriform.com/recuva 2. if you have any error dialog that pops up after starting BizHawk, post it here. 3. Since you mentioned antivirus, it could deleted .dll files from the dll directory. Here's my dll directory list of files: 
7z.dll

4. if you don't have any error dialogs, try (backupping, and then) deleting your config.ini file
