Looking for a way to fix msvcp120.dll is missing in Windows 10 error? This post has a solution that works flawlessly.

Fix MSVCP120.dll is Missing in Windows 10

Windows 10 is one of the best operating systems in Windows OS line up. It has lots of new features, settings and apps which make it more productive for the users. With every window update, users receive lots of errors and bug. Some of the issues can be fixed by just by running inbuilt Windows 10 troubleshooters available for every component.

While there are some other sticky errors which can’t be fixed just by running a troubleshooter or performing necessary troubleshooting steps, as they require some special efforts. In today’s post, I’m going to discuss with you one out of those error with a solution that works hundred percent.

Some of the GeekerMag regular readers sent me a message telling that:

First User: Most of the time when I’m trying to launch the application of Windows 10 a dialogue box appears with the message which reads:

The program can’t start because msvcp120.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.

Second User: After updating to latest version of Windows 10 whenever I’m trying to run any Adobe product I’m receving error which reads

msvcp120.dll error

This is really sticky and annoying error but can be fixed easily. It is possible that in your case you might see different error messages for the same .dll file which are as follows:

  • msvcp120.dll error loading
  • msvcp120.dll was not found
  • msvcp120.dll Access Violation
  • msvcp120.dll is missing
  • Cannot register msvcp120.dll
  • msvcp120.dll crash
  • the procedure entry point msvcp120.dll
  • msvcp120.dll could not be located
  • Cannot find msvcp120.dll

While in some case, you can receive the same error message for different .dll file like shown below:

MSVCP110.dll missing in Windows 10 or related

In most of the cases, you see this error if Microsoft does not include the entire Microsoft Visual Studio C++ 2012 Runtime libraries in Windows 10 or if some of the files got corrupted.
