About vcruntime140_64.dll

vcruntime140_64.dll is a DLL file (Dynamic Link Library) used by Windows programs to share code and resources. It allows multiple applications to use the same functions, improving performance and reducing redundancy.

Overview

The file vcruntime140_64.dll is part of the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015, specifically designed for 64-bit systems. This DLL is a component of the Microsoft C Runtime Library and plays a crucial role in executing C++ applications developed with Visual Studio 2015. The "vcruntime" part of the name denotes its affiliation with the Visual C++ runtime libraries, "140" corresponds to Visual Studio 2015, and the "_64" suffix indicates that this version of the DLL is intended for 64-bit architectures.

This particular DLL contains runtime components that provide the necessary support for the standard C++ library, enabling various functionalities within C++ applications, such as mathematical operations, input/output processing, and handling of exceptions. When developers create C++ applications using Visual Studio 2015, they rely on these standardized components to ensure their applications can run across different machines without requiring the source code or the entire development environment to be present.

If vcruntime140_64.dll is missing or damaged on a user's computer, it might result in errors when trying to launch C++ applications that depend on this specific version of the runtime library. The application may fail to start, or certain features within the application might not function as expected. To resolve such issues, the Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable package, which includes vcruntime140_64.dll and other essential components, needs to be installed or reinstalled. This ensures that all the necessary runtime libraries are available on the system, enabling smooth execution of the applications requiring them.

Fixes and Solutions

The first step in resolving DLL errors is to completely uninstall the affected software and reinstall its latest version. We know this does not always solve the problem, which is why DLLme exists. If reinstalling the application does not help, or if you are unsure which app is causing the error, follow the steps below. These are the most common solutions for fixing vcruntime140_64.dll errors.

  • Repair Windows: Make sure Windows is fully updated, then open Windows Terminal or PowerShell as an administrator (search for “PowerShell” in the Start menu, right-click it, and choose “Run as administrator”). This allows you to repair the Windows component store and run the System File Checker (SFC).

    Repair the Windows component store so SFC can pull clean files:

    DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

    Scan all protected system files and automatically repair problems:

    sfc /scannow
  • Uninstall & Reinstall: On this DLL page, check the Company/Product section to identify the related app, then fully uninstall it. If you plan to continue using it, reinstall the latest version. Be sure to save or back up any important data before uninstalling. Windows or antivirus software may sometimes quarantine DLL files, especially if the DLL is unfamiliar or appears suspicious. Check your antivirus quarantine or logs to determine if this is the cause of your issue.
  • Download the DLL: Download the latest 32-bit or 64-bit version of the DLL directly from our repository using the download button above. Most users will need the 64-bit version, but if you are unsure, or if a 64-bit version is not available, you can install both the 32-bit and 64-bit DLLs. DLLme verifies DLLs that come from our admins, partners, and trusted affiliates. User-uploaded files may be verified later if a trusted source is confirmed.
  • Register the DLL: Most DLL files do not need registration, but some DLLs are COM components and must be registered to work correctly. If registration is required, open Windows Terminal or PowerShell as an administrator.

    Register the DLL (you can also drag the DLL file into the window to automatically fill in its full path):

    regsvr32 "C:\path\to\vcruntime140_64.dll"

    If you are registering a 32-bit DLL on 64-bit Windows, use the 32-bit RegSvr32:

    C:\Windows\SysWOW64\regsvr32 "C:\path\to\vcruntime140_64.dll"

    Or open Windows Terminal/PowerShell in the DLL’s folder and run:

    regsvr32 vcruntime140_64.dll

How to Install vcruntime140_64.dll

To install vcruntime140_64.dll, place the DLL file in the appropriate Windows system folder or in the same folder as the application’s .exe file. If you are not sure which version (32-bit or 64-bit) to use, you can safely install both.

On 64-bit versions of Windows, place 64-bit DLL files in:

C:\Windows\System32\vcruntime140_64.dll

Place 32-bit DLL files in:

C:\Windows\SysWOW64\vcruntime140_64.dll
