VCRUNTIME140.dll CTD error

After the latest update, I keep having ctd just moments after takeoff due to vcruntime140.dll. This is frustrating because the system is 4 weeks old and was running fine before the msfs 2020 update. Any suggestions?

AMD Ryzen 5 3600
Radeon 5700xt
32GB memory
512GB SSD 1TB hard drive
msfs 2020 on SSD
