I have never seen this error before and it almost scared me. I suddenly got an error box with the message the program cannot start because vcruntime140.dll is missing. Since it is missing, I figured I need only download it. How to vcruntime140 dll download?
You are on the right track. In the majority of cases, if a dll file is missing simply downloading the dll file from the internet solves the error. In this case, however, you need to perform one additional preliminary step.
This file is associated with the Microsoft Visual Studio. So, the first thing you should do is check the version of Visual Studio on your computer. If it is not the latest version, download the latest version from its website and see if this solves your problem. If the problem still persists, download the dll file from any of the available websites that have this file for download and place it in the System32 folder on your computer. Restart and the error should be gone.
