VCRUNTIME140.dll Error

SU5 fixed this CTD for me. And I have a AI traffic off all the time (also before SU5).

SU5 is a genuine Christmas miracle! Haven’t had a single VCRUNTIME140.dll CTD since the update! Just ordinary CTD’s, but that’s another thread.

Hey guys,

FS2020 is crashing to desktop with all planes, without any addons installed. It doesnt matter if loadingscreen, in flight, or even when i do a AltGr+LC on one of the instruments to get a second window. It happens like every 1-2 hours.

Furthermore there are Approaches shown on SimBrief which doesnt show up in FS2020 wether on the worldmap or FMCDU.

Maybe someone may help?

You seem to be missing files. Check Xbox and Microsoft store for updates and run Wndows Update itself including looking for optional updates.

Windows Updates and Microsoft Store Updates are none available

Run chkdsk and scannow but I suspect you may have to reinstall everything. I suggest not trying to install MSFS on a separate drive to Windows (but you can move the package files later and update the UserCfg file)

Remember to install the vcdistrib files in the correct order as an older update can cause problems, usually due to an app install has installs these as a dependency.

he have done it already :wink:

@StratocasterBLN
Some hints about possible reasons for none-VR we gave already , e.g. summary

Thus may be check that points
 in special drivers, parallel running apps and hardware stuff ( like heat ).

EDIT: I also seen your MSInfo

A much more common error in your case is the generally 0x80000003. Check that you not hard limited your pagefile, this was often a reason
 There are also lots of “ucrtbase.dll 0xc0000409”
 thus check sound-drivers and anti-virus tool. Also wuauclt.exe crashed one time, which sounds not good.

I already reinstalled the Game 2 times, after that i reinstalled Windows + FS2020 another time. The Download of FS2020 takes forever. I have a 1GB connection but the dl speed in FS2020 is just about 60-100 Mbits/s.

chkdsk and scannow resolved in no errors to fix.

FS2020 is installed on the C: NVMe AppData Folder

@ MichaMMA
luckily i was able to fix that error already :slight_smile:

I deleted all vcdistrib and reinstalled it with the “app aio-runtimes_v2.5.0”

note, that VCLib version was not the only possible reason ( and also not the most common , so far I remember ( its a while :joy: ) )

which VCLib version is the possible reason? Which one should i reinstall?

I mean the vclib is not the only reason which can cause these error message
 More common are the other points from the summary I linked. I also edited (“EDIT”) my post above some minutes ago.

I left the Page File on automatic. Well i guess i have to reinstall everything again :confused: Thanks for the help guys

This might be a good time to try Windows 11 
 If you do then install it fresh from an iso and not the upgrade. If it helps their latest offering is very solid.

not sure about 


As mentioned
 test to close applications which runnning in parallel , check that all drivers up2date ( dont forget the mainboard stuff and sound ) , try to disable to a test-case your anti-virus app, may be to a test-case with a manuall pagefile on minimum 8192 and maximum 20000 , also because you report that it happens after 1-2hours try to open your pc-case to check whether it’s over-heating issue, dont disconnect usb-devices while playing,
 may be I forgot some points
 ( assume sfc , dism checks you already done )

thats of course also true
 but seems its PC is not ready with current settings ( TPM )

Very easy to turn on in bios security settings although it may take two visits as TPM options may not be visible until after a restart

Well that went well! :roll_eyes: I guess the mods won’t like Italian either.

Maybe a missing US English language Pack?

Hm. You mean a missing language pack for windows? I just set the FS2020 to english because i was setting up my hotos while watching a a youtube video about the config in english so the menu matched.
Before i switched to english FS2020 were already crashing tho
