Windows 10: Error: msvcp140.dll is missing when launching PUBG

Hi team,


I'm Asus laptop works on Windows 10 Home Edition (as far as I know), just two days ago, I downloaded the PUGB game.


Right after I launched that game, it just didn't run and work.


A message screen appears that says msvcp140.dll is missing. After going through different solutions over the internet, I follow this guide: https://techshali.com/fix-pubg-error-cannot-find-msvcp140-dll/


Even after downloading this new file and replacing it with Old one, still, the game doesn't work.


Seems this problem is somewhat related to my operating system on my laptop.


If you have the correct file or alternate solution, share it.


Any help is appreciated!

MSVCP140.dll is missing in my Win 10

Hello, I am using for the first time a brand new OEM W10 and neither step did any good.

In addition to the MSVCP140.dll missing error I also have a VCRUNTIME140.dll missing.

 

MSVCP140.dll

Hi,

This occurs when the program you are trying to run requires the MSVCP140.dll file to be present on your computer system. MSVCP140.dll is a Microsoft C Runtime Library file of size around 626 KB, located in the System32 folder, and is installed by Microsoft
Visual Studio. If any DLL file goes missing or gets corrupted, you can see such error messages on your screen.

With that in mind, we'd like to know:

• Does it only affect a specific program?
• Were you able to launch this program before?
• Have you tried reinstalling the program?

If you have reinstalled the app the issue still persists, download and install the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio

here.

Let us know how it goes.
