This is the link that you want (need) as of 6/5/17, choose between the 32bit (x86) or the 64bit (x64) or just install both if you have a 64bit (x64) based system.

Hint: The 32 bit is the most commonly used for app and program development as it will run on both 32bit and 64bit PC's.

You need to install the Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable Update 3 RC from the link supplied in the marked as answer reply to this thread, the 32bit version download and install of the data link library will be the most likely one that you will need, even if you are using a 64bit system, however, if the app that needs the file to run was developed for a 64bit OS only then you will need the 64bit version. You can install both versions on a 64bit system as a 64bit system will run both 32bit and 64bit apps and/or programs.

Here is the link again, for your convenience.

Let us know how it goes,

    "DLL" files are already provided to you with the software. Sometimes you get the error of a particular DLL file missing on your computer screen because the files get deleted or removed by the anti-virus while scanning.

    VCRuntime140.dll is one of them. We can solve this error manually, but remember that you have to paste the missing DLL file exactly to the location where it was before.

    You can also try these 3 tasks to solve the DLL error.

    • You can perform virus/malware scan of your entire system that can also fix the DLL error.
    • You can also reinstall the entire software/program that uses the DLL file.
    • Sometimes the DLL file get deleted accidently so you can restore it from the Recycle Bin.

    If these don't work then try the manual process. Go to the link given below and follow the steps to tackle the vcruntime140.dll file.

    Thanks for the feedback, after a few restarts your speed may actually improve a bit or at least come back to normal for your device.
