I had it too. This is what I did to fix it.

I went to Control Panel>System>Device Manager>Human Interface Devices>USB input Device (Logitech Download Assistant). Doube click. Uninstall driver.

Then Action>Scan for hardware changes and the driver updates itself from MS with Logitech ware. 

"logiLDA.dll" error is GONE.

I personally like a clean registry, although I know tech fundamentalists don't. So I will stick with it, but will keep an open mind.

If it comes back I will repost, as the idea of a "restore" is a good suggestion.

C:\Windows\System32\LogiLDA.dll

Do a system restore to a date before you used the registry cleaner.

And in the future, avoid using registry cleaners. Registry cleaning

programs are all snake oil. Cleaning of the registry isn't needed

and is dangerous. Leave the registry alone and don't use any registry

cleaner. Despite what many people think, and what vendors of registry

cleaning software try to convince you of, having unused registry

entries doesn't really hurt you.

The risk of a serious problem caused by a registry cleaner erroneously

removing an entry you need is far greater than any potential benefit

it may have.

Read http://www.edbott.com/weblog/archives/000643.html

and http://aumha.net/viewtopic.php?t=28099

and also

http://blogs.technet.com/markrussinovich/archive/2005/10/02/registry-junk-a-windows-fact-of-life.aspx

Let me point out that neither I nor anyone else who warns against the

use of registry cleaners has ever said that they always cause

problems. If they always caused problems, they would disappear from

the market almost immediately. Many people have used a registry

cleaner and never had a problem with it.

Rather, the problem with a registry cleaner is that it carries with it

the substantial risk of having a problem. And since there is no

benefit to using a registry cleaner, running that risk is a very bad

bargain.

    Hi, I am having this error as well.  I followed your directions above, and got as far as the Human Interface Device, but I don't see the USB input Device (Logitech Download Assistant) you are referring to.  What am I not seeing?

    This is not that complicated. I think yall are over reacted. It's not the matter of what you have downloaded or updated. Mostly likely the port that you are using is a usb 3.0. the other 2 are the usb2.0.

    You can go to Hardware and chose the logitech device that you are using  right click then troubleshoot. It will then ask you to change to the 2.0 port, if I am correct. and the troubleshoot is success.

    This will work! logiLDA.dll  error..

    CONCLUSION USING THE "WRONG PORT"

    NOTE: CHANGE TO 2.0 PORT AND THEN TROUBLE SHOOT.

    **NO LONGER WILL THE ERROR MESSAGE APPEAR**

     PS : IF YOU FIND THIS IS HELPFUL, GIVE IT A THUMB UP.

    I found a solution that worked when the other ones in this thread did not.  The solution was found here: http://superuser.com/questions/662647/logilda-dll-missing-after-updating-to-windows-8-1 - in a nutshell the solutions was:

    1. Go to Startup tab
    2. Find LogiLDA, right click on it and click Disable
    3. Run Task manager by pressing

    After a restart, the problem is gone.

    I also went one step further and removed the LogiLDA references found in the registry:

    `echo Start echo # echo ######################## Default dirctory for x86 x64 ########################

    echo # echo this command is default system32 directory for x86 OS or x64 OS cd %windir% & cd system32 reg delete "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run" /v "Logitech Download Assistant" /f

    reg delete "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run" /v "Logitech Download Assistant" /f

    echo # echo ######################## Change the dirctory for x64 ########################

    echo # echo this command is x86 application's registry for x64 OS cd %windir% & cd syswow64 reg delete "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run" /v "Logitech Download Assistant" /f

    reg delete "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run" /v "Logitech Download Assistant" /f

    echo End `
