Hi Lennox Cedeno,
- Have you made any changes to your computer prior to this issue?
Runtime errors can occur if you are running two software programs that are not compatible, if your computer has memory problems, or if the computer has been infected with malicious software.
Mostly, this error can be caused by two factors:
Runtime components of Visual C++ Libraries are missing.
Conflict with other software installed on the computer.
Try these methods to fix the error message.
**Method 1:**Reinstall the Runtime components of Visual C++ Libraries to resolve the problem.
Download the latest runtime components from the link below. Please check the system requirements before installation.
Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x86)
Method 2: Let’s put the computer in clean boot state and check if any third-party program is causing this issue.
Putting your system in clean boot state helps in identifying if any third party applications or startup items are causing the issue. If yes, you may have to contact the program manufacturer for any updates or uninstall and re-install the program.
Here’s an article you may refer to, for steps with reference to the same.
