Our verdict
If a game or app refuses to start with a missing MSVCP140.dll, VCRUNTIME140.dll or MFC140U.dll message, this is the package it needs. One v14 Redistributable now covers apps built with Visual Studio 2015, 2017, 2019, 2022 and 2026. On a 64-bit PC install both the x64 and the x86 package, because 32-bit apps need the x86 one. Microsoft's page also keeps the older 2013, 2012, 2010 and 2008 packages for legacy software.

FAQ
Should I install x64 or x86 on 64-bit Windows?
Both. A 64-bit app needs the x64 package and a 32-bit app needs the x86 package, even on 64-bit Windows. On an Arm PC, install the ARM64 package; the x64 package also includes the ARM64 files.
Is it safe to download msvcp140.dll from a DLL website?
Never download single DLL files (msvcp140.dll, vcruntime140.dll, d3dx9_43.dll and so on) from 'DLL download' sites. Those files can be outdated, the wrong architecture or tampered with, and they are not supported by Microsoft. Install the official package instead.
Where is the 'Visual C++ 2015-2022' download now?
Microsoft merged it into the single 'latest supported v14' Redistributable on the same page. It also covers apps built with Visual Studio 2015, 2017, 2019, 2022 and 2026.
