Hi all,
I have much the same problem. This appeared after I hadn't used FSX/FSUIPC for about a month or so, and hadn't added any new add-ons in the meantime. I get the following message:
Flight Simulator has detected a problem with a third party software (add-on):
Name: FSUIPC4 DLL: FS new universal IPC interface
Version 4.974
Company: Peter L. Dowson
File: Modules\FSUIPC4.dll
If I try to run FSX with FSUIPC, the program immediately crashes. The FSUIPC4.log reads:
********* FSUIPC4, Version 4.974 (24th February 2018) by Pete Dowson *********

I'm a registered FSUIPC user and have run it for years without a problem. I've tried the solutions posted above without any luck (and I do not have a SimConnect.dll in my Modules folder. Any ideas? (please be patient with me, I'm a bit of a computer idiot).
