if you have a message from Windows notifying you of the lack of
vcruntime140.dll, it is certainly that this file is missing in Windows / System32 or it is corrupted.
The best solution to put things back in place is to uninstall:
Microsoft Visual C ++ 2015 Redistributable
(corresponds to version 14.0.23026)
There is a 64-bit version and a 32-bit version (uninstall both)
Then go to the Microsoft Windows site to download Microsoft Visual C ++ 2015 Redistributable again and reinstall it.
