When developers write software in C++ using Microsoft Visual Studio 2019, they link their code against a set of standard runtime libraries. To avoid bundling these libraries into every application (which would increase file size and complicate updates), Microsoft provides redistributable packages. These packages install the necessary DLLs (e.g., vcruntime140.dll , msvcp140.dll , vcruntime140_1.dll ) into system directories, enabling any 64-bit application that depends on them to function correctly.
