It is an error that, as we see, indicates that this file does not exist. DLL files in Windows are a set of libraries where the code and data are stored to be used by more than one program or application simultaneously. If any fail this app will be prevented from opening or being stable..

 

 

This error can appear after installing an update to the system or if any of these updates generated an error during their installation. Keep in mind that VCRUNTIME140.dll is a file used by Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015 so with this in mind TechnoWikis will give you the solution to this error in Windows.
