Probably the same issue as in "[GENERAL] Tablespace files deleted during continuous run", or at least very similar in nature.

* Check that you don't have anti-virus software that (correctly or incorrectly) identified those dll's as infected with a virus and removed them.
* Check that your file-system is undamaged.
* Check that windows hasn't been restoring a checkpoint with those dll's not installed.

If the database wasn't installed on a local file-system, check that the remote file-system is functioning properly and doesn't cache an old state or something similarly silly.

Postgres doesn't remove any dll's, so it's some external factor at play here.
