    No luck with me. I removed C++ with the intent of installing it later. However i still get windows 8.1 crashes. This reverts the start bar to the middle screen.

    Pretty annoying

    Any Luck with this, I have it pop up from time to time as well, typically when I have not been using the computer for some period of time, hours to days...

    Hi Vismas,

    Does the issue occur mostly when you are working on windows explorer window?

    This type of error is usually related to damaged C++ components installed. Download and install the latest Visual C++ runtime. Locate and then remove the existing Visual C++ installation. To do this, follow these steps:

    Step 1:

    1.       Press Windows key + X, click on control panel.

    2.       Go to Programs and Features.

    3.       Locate Microsoft Visual C++ in the list of installed programs.

    4.       Click Microsoft Visual C++, and then click Uninstall 

    NoteIf you cannot find Microsoft Visual C++ in the installed programs list, go to step 2

    Step 2: Follow the steps to remove the software.

    Download and then install the latest Visual C++ runtime. To do this, follow these steps:

    1.       Visit the following Microsoft Web site: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/Search.aspx 

    2.       Download latest Visual C++

    3.       Make sure that the computer is installed with all the latest hardware drivers

    Hope this helps. If you need further assistance with Windows, let us know and will be glad to help.
