Why does Windows say VCRUNTIME140.dll was not found?

A Windows PC might show such an error when there is a need for VCRUNTIME140.dll by the software running on the computer, but this file or the runtime files that accompany it are missing. The reason could be the presence of corrupt or missing Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable files. You can try to fix the problem by installing the correct Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable package and then restarting the computer. It is always better to get the package from Microsoft instead of downloading the DLL from a strange website.
