runtime error microsoft visual c++ explorer.exe

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.

I get this error when I hit ctrl alt del to try to login, so can't follow any of the suggestions I've seen online.  I bought Windows 8.1 online and don't have a recovery disk.

Hi Elvis

Many thanks for you advice. I have not yet done with clean-boot step and shall check out now.

However, you are correct and  Mcaffee could be one of the reason .

I will update you shortly.

Thanks once again.

Sincerely

you followed this KB for perform a clean boot? 

remember, it's possible that "there arethird-party software that create problems and interferes with explorer"

in this case i think that the mcafee antivirus can interfere with the normal operation of the system

let me know

Hi Elvis

Thank you for pointing me to the scenarios.

I have done some troubleshooting suggested in this thread viz. removing and reinstalling the latest binaries from Microsoft, using sfc routine etc., no corruption of library has been found. I have nvidia driver insatalled and I am using this combination (windows 8.1 and nvidia driver) for last two years. This typical problem never came up until I did upgrade to Windows 10 64 Bit.

Now a specific symptom is when I am hooked to internet using WiFi or LAN, this error never been seen. Whenever I snap the internet, and leave the machine idle for about 15 minutes, visual C++ runtime error pop-ups are getting tiled up on my desktop. Closing each of them will make the machine unresponsive for about 20 seconds and the screen gets refreshed, I get back the control.

I have added an image of installed programs and versions.

Anything more specific than what we have already tried, would definitely help.

Thanks once again for your suggestions.

Hi Vlismas,

The reasons may be multiple,that is:

• Driver Nvidia graphics card or Intel that interferes: to remove for test purposes
• Under Startup there are third-party software that create problems and interferes with explorer, in this regard follow this KB How to perform a clean boot in Windows(follow Windows 8 Instruction)
• problem of corruption in VC++2010 and 2012 packages remove them both and also any previous installed packages, then download and install them again from scratch
• in the system they are installed Visual Studio or Autodesk programs? for test purposes, remove them by following these two dedicated KB:How to uninstall Visual Studio 2012, Performing a Clean Uninstall | Installation, Activation & Licensing | Autodesk Knowledge Network

let me know if this helps
