how to correct vcruntime.dll error

The error is typically caused by corruption of Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable.

There are good fixes here in Methods 1-3 and other recommendations: https://ugetfix.com/ask/how-to-fix-vcruntime140...

I would not run the tool sold at the end by ugetfix as this is an ad only.

If that's not enough go over this checklist to make sure the install is set up correctly, optimized for best performance, and any needed repairs get done: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wiki...

But remember that Factory or Upgrade installs are inferior installs which most enthusiasts won't even run because they'd expect endless issues. Consider doing the Clean Install in this link which compiles the best possible install that will stay that way as long as you stick with the tools and methods given: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wiki...

There is also an automated Refresh that reinstalls WIndows while shedding corrupting factory bloatware, saves your files, but doesn't clear the drive to get it cleanest: https://www.howtogeek.com/265054/how-to-easily-...
