AUEPUC.exe system error

[tiopaco]

Hello, I got a system error on startup saying "AUEPUC.exe system error- the code execution could not proceed because VCRUNTIME140.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix the problem"

 

I have no idea what program it's talking about, and i haven't run into any problems yet, but can someone give me insight into what could possibly be wrong?

 

I'm running on a custom built pc, my specs are below. Thank you in advance

CPU: Ryzen 5 1400

GPU: MSI Armor RX 580 8GB

RAM: 8GB DDR4 ADATA XPG 2400MHz

Do you have any visual studio programs installed on your PC? If not I wouldn't worry too much about the error coming up. Some people have suggested uninstalling any C++ libraries in the control panel and that might solve it.

No, I don't have any visual studio programs installed, but I did recently install a game from steam that installed a new C++ library. Could it possibly be THAT file?

It's possible. Sometimes things get installed incorrectly. You could try reinstalling the game and see if that helps fix it.

Out of the solutions presented here, I'm guessing that you need to reinstall the VC 2015 redistribution package: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-performance/vcruntime140dll-missing/2b061a41-e9f6-48f7-abee-28193cd3b60e?auth=1
