2021-08-11T02:48:47.843+00:00 The link is correct but the Q&A site is incorrectly stripping off the last paren when you click or copy it. Here's the link without the markdown
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/mt752379(v=vs.140)
If you click this link then it'll strip off the last paren. Either put it back on or copy the URL manually and paste it into the browser.
