After a long period, windows launched Windows 11, and soon after its release, the operating system was surrounded by many issues. Firmware updates fix some, and some with troubleshot manually by users.

Nowadays, Windows users face runtime errors. It is really frustrating because we use software or Application to save our time or do something important. The system closes the Application and shows a text notification of runtime error at that time. To fix Windows 11’s runtime error, let’s look at some effective and tested methods.

Reinstall the Visual C++Runtime Library

The runtime issue’s basic reason is that the system has an inappropriate or outdated version of the Visual Runtime Library.

Go to Microsoft’s official website to download Visual C++Redistributal for Visual Studio 2015.
Now navigate to the download folder, click on vc_redistx64.exe to install, and click on Next.
After that, agree on the terms and conditions and click on install.
Now follow the on-screen instruction to install the Visual C++ Runtime Library.
Check for the issue again and if it’s still the same, uninstall the Visual C++ Runtime Library and install the latest version in your system.

Check updates for Display Driver.

The runtime error is also due to an outdated driver, and the display driver is one of the main factors behind the issue. You can update the display driver in two ways one is automatic, and the next one is manual.

Navigate and double-click on the Display driver to expand the drivers.

Once installing the display driver’s latest version, restart the system to apply changes.

Reinstall the Buggy Software

If the runtime issue is with any third-party application or software, then reinstalling is the best way to fix the problem as some of the files of the Application may be corrupt or missing, and it may be one of the reasons for the runtime issue.

Go to the control panel and then select Apps and feature.
Navigate to the third-party app from the application list and right-click on it.
Then click on uninstall and follow onscreen instructions to uninstall the culprit application.
After that, go to the Microsoft store or the website to install the application again on your system.

Click on Start Menu and search for Command Prompt or type cmd and then press Ctrl+ Shift+ Enter to open the command prompt as administrator.
Then press Yes to confirm the choice, type SFC/Scannow, and press Enter.

SFC/Scannow

Wait till it checks the system files and once it’s done, paste the below command and press Enter.

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
