Keep getting an error saying "VCRUNTIME140_1.dll was not found" while trying to open an app.

What the title says.

I've been trying to open Roblox Studio, but I keep getting this same error message. I've been looking into it for a while now, but nothing I read actually helps after I go through with it, and these fancy computer terms on some of the sites are getting confusing.

All I know is to fix it, I need to download 'vc_redist.x64.exe' or '.x84.exe', but I don't know which one to download or where to put it when I do. Some websites said to put it in either 'System32' or 'SysWOW64', but that didn't do anything. Restarting and the classic off-and-on-again didn't help.

This is only happening with Roblox Studio to my knowledge, and it only started today.

How can I actually get rid of the error messages and use Studio again?

    I just updated to Win 11 22H2... now I'm getting this error RE both this file and WebView2Loader.dll. Tried your solution (installed both before the restart) & still see the error. I do, however, get the error 3 times for VCRUNTIME140.dll.

    Just realized all errors pertain to msteams.exe, which I don't use. Turned off autostart for that app and they're gone.

    I'm not sure if you have gotten a private message or any response from OP (Original Poster, Glow) but I was having the exact same issue as they were and your solution above helped me a lot, Thank you, John. (:
