Обновление Microsoft Visual C++ в Windows 10
Важно! Процедура обновления Microsoft Visual C++ подразумевает переход на официальный сайт Microsoft для загрузки необходимых компонентов. На момент написания статьи у некоторых пользователей, проживающих на территории России, могут быть проблемы с доступом к указанному ресурсу.
Для того чтобы обновить Microsoft Visual C++, предварительно необходимо скачать соответствующий инсталлятор. Делать это следует исключительно с официального сайта Microsoft, так как в противном случае вы можете получить некачественное программное обеспечение, зараженное вирусами.
Скачать Microsoft Visual C++ с официального сайта
Открыв в браузере страницу загрузки Microsoft Visual C++, выполните описанные далее действия:
- Выберите версию, которую необходимо обновить. На момент написания статьи всего есть шесть вариантов, пронумерованных годом выхода. Для корректной работы большей части программного обеспечения требуется последняя версия (Visual Studio 2015, 2017, 2019 и 2022), но в вашем случае это может быть не так.
Определившись с нужной версией, щелкните по ссылке, расположенной в блоке «В этой статье».
- Переместившись в соответствующее место страницы, немного ниже вы увидите таблицу со ссылками на загрузку инсталлятора. На данном этапе необходимо выбрать подходящую для вашего компьютера редакцию. Опираться следует на столбец «Архитектура».
Если ваш ПК работает на базе архитектуры x86, а это большая часть процессоров, тогда выбирать следует из «X86» и «X64». Отличие между ними в разрядности операционной системы: «X86» — для 32-разрядной, а «X64» — для 64-разрядной. Если ваш процессор работает на архитектуре ARM, выбирайте «ARM64». По итогу щелкните по ссылке, расположенной напротив нужного варианта.
Примечание! Если вы не знаете разрядность своей операционной системы, посмотреть нужную информацию можно непосредственно в Windows 10. Но при необходимости сделать это получится и с помощью специального программного обеспечения. Подробнее об этом рассказывается в другой статье на нашем сайте. Чтобы ознакомиться с изложенным там материалом, воспользуйтесь представленной ниже ссылкой.
Подробнее: Как посмотреть разрядность операционной системы Windows 10
- При появлении диалогового окна файлового менеджера перейдите в директорию, куда хотите загрузить установщик Microsoft Visual C++, и нажмите по кнопке «Сохранить».
- Дождитесь завершения процедуры скачивания файла. Следить за ходом выполнения вы можете непосредственно в интерфейсе браузера. По итогу откройте папку, куда был сохранен инсталлятор. Сделать это можно из веб-обозревателя. Для этого раскройте список загрузок, который находится в верхнем правом углу, и щелкните по кнопке в виде папки. На изображении ниже это действие выполняется на примере браузера Mozilla Firefox, в вашем случае интерфейс может немного отличаться.
- Находясь в папке с инсталлятором Microsoft Visual C++, запустите его. Сделать это можно путем двойного нажатия по названию левой кнопкой мыши.
- В появившемся окне установщика первостепенно примите условия лицензионного соглашения. Для этого сначала поставьте отметку напротив соответствующего пункта, а затем щелкните по кнопке «Установить».
- Дождитесь завершения распаковки файлов в операционную систему. За ходом выполнения этой процедуры можно следить в окне установщика.
- По итогу перезагрузите компьютер, чтобы завершить обновление Microsoft Visual C++. Сделать это вы можете непосредственно через интерфейс инсталлятора, щелкнув по кнопке «Перезапустить». Но при необходимости отложите это действие на потом, просто закрыв окно.
Важно! Если выбранная вами версия Microsoft Visual C++ уже была установлена в операционной системе, то при запуске инсталлятора на экране появится не лицензионное соглашение, а представленное на изображении ниже окно. В этом случае нажмите по кнопке «Исправить». Дальнейшие действия будут аналогичны тем, что описывались выше.
При необходимости вы можете проверить, какие именно версии Microsoft Visual C++ уже установлены в Windows 10. Делается это в специальном меню параметров.
- Откройте окно настроек системы любым доступным способом. Например, сделать это можно через контекстное меню кнопки «Пуск». Щелкните по ней правой кнопкой мыши, а затем выберите в появившемся списке пункт «Параметры».

- Перейдите в раздел «Приложения», щелкнув по одноименному элементу интерфейса левой кнопкой мыши.
- Находясь во вкладке «Приложения и возможности», пролистайте список всех установленных на компьютере программ вниз, пока не увидите Microsoft Visual C++. Таким образом вы можете узнать, какие версии приложения уже установлены, а какие отсутствуют в операционной системе.
Примечание! Если во время установки Microsoft Visual C++ вы столкнулись с трудностями, обратитесь за помощью к тематической статье на нашем сайте. В ней рассматриваются причины появления проблем и способы их устранения. Несмотря на то что все действия выполняются на примере пакета Microsoft Visual C Redistributable 2015, они будут актуальны и для других версий.

This archive contains the latest version (Mar 2025) of all VCRedist Visual Studio C++ runtimes, installable with a single click by running the included batch file installer.
To install, run the included install_all.bat with admin privileges (right click, «Run as administrator»)
The download includes the VC_Redist runtime packages for Visual C++ 2005, 2008, 2010, 2012, 2013, 2015, 2017, 2019, 2021 and 2022. Both 32-bit and 64-bit are supported. The files included are the English language version.
When doing a fresh Windows OS install, it’s recommended to always install all the various C++ runtimes, which is why this all-in-one pack was created. It helps to avoid problems with programs that cause error messages like «side-by-side configuration is incorrect», or «Missing MSVCRT.DLL», «VCRUNTIME140_1.dll was not found», or «MSVCP140.DLL».
This package is created by us here at TPU. All files are digitally signed by Microsoft, which guarantees they are unaltered.
Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributables are a package of libraries (files and resources) necessary for running programs developed with Microsoft Visual C++. These components include the C Runtime (CRT), Standard C++, MFC, C++ AMP, and OpenMP libraries. Without these components, Visual C++ programs wouldn’t be able to access resources to run properly.
The relationship between the Visual C++ Redistributables package and the programs that rely on it is similar to the relationship between a car and the gasoline it needs to run: without the fuel, the car won’t go anywhere. Similarly, without the correct redistributable package, the program won’t run. The Visual C++ Redistributables package contains the Visual C++ runtimes that are necessary for programs written with Microsoft Visual C++ to run correctly.
These components are installed when you install Visual Studio, but can also be downloaded separately. If you have an application that requires Visual C++ Redistributables, make sure to install the correct version to function properly.
For example, if your app requires Microsoft visual c++ 2019 redistributable package (x64), you can download it using the links below.

Microsoft Visual C++ is known for its excellent performance compared to other programming languages like Java. The runtimes are also optimized for speed and efficiency and have garbage collection, and effective memory management, which helps apps run smoothly.
But the performance of the app also depends on the efficiency of the actual application code. Sometimes, you may stumble across apps that may perform poorly due to inefficient code. You should keep this in mind if you are troubleshooting Visual C++ runtime issues.
Microsoft has released several Visual C++ redistributables over the years. These include 2005, 2008, 2010, 2012, 2013, 2015, 2017, 2019 and 2022. Each version supports applications created with a specific Visual Studio version. For example, applications created with Visual Studio 2010 require Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable. However, since Visual Studio 2015, all versions share the same package files. This means you only need to install a single redistributable to run programs built with Visual Studio 2022, 2019, 2017, and 2015.

What is Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable?
Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable is a runtime library for running applications that Microsoft developers develop in Visual C++ language.
VC++ Redistributable is just like Java Runtime Environment and .NET Framework. You need to install JRE to run programs developed in Java and .NET Framework to run apps.
When you create certain apps or programs using Visual C++, the redistributable packages are installed automatically. Some developers pre-package the runtime libraries inside their software setups. Alternatively, you can download them manually. I am providing you with the links to download the redistributable packages below.
If you use the same version of Microsoft Visual C++ to create multiple apps, then all the apps created with the same version of Microsoft Visual C++ need only one redistributable package.
When do you need the redistributable?
If you have any software or program that needs the Visual C++ Redistributable, then you must install it. Otherwise, there isn’t any use of the Microsoft VC++ Redistributable.
These packages are not resource-intensive, so the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable won’t take up much space on your hard drive.
Note: Visual Studio versions since Visual Studio 2015 share the same redistributable files. This means you only need to install a single redistributable to run programs built with Visual Studio 2022, 2019, 2017 and 2015.

We have released our own all in one Visual C++ runtimes installer. This is a small executable that automatically downloads and installs all Visual C++ runtimes including 2005, 2008, 2010, 2012, 2013, and 2015 – 2022 installers.
The unique feature of this installer is that it automatically downloads and installs the latest run-times directly from Microsoft (using Chocolatey).

- Run the installer. It will ask for administrative privileges.
- Wait for a while for the installer to download and install all runtimes one by one.
At the end, the installer will share the list of programs installed by the installer.
Visual C++ Redistributable Runtimes All-in-One
Visual C++ Redistributable Runtimes All-in-One comes as a zip file with all versions of VC++ included and a simple batch file. Download it from the link below, unzip it to a folder and run install_all.bat. This will install all the redistributables from version 2005 to 2019.
All the installs are silent and do not require user intervention. The script does not restart Windows by itself. You’ll need to restart the computer once the installation is done.

Visual C++ Redistributable installation guide
Download and install any Visual C++ redistributable runtime library package that is easy. It’s like downloading the setup from below given the direct download links and then running the installer. Every installation step is self-explanatory. You can have multiple redistributable runtime packages installed on your computer.
-
Select your architecture and download the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable from the links above.
-
Then open its installer. The window will open and ask you to accept the terms and then click on the Install button.
Begin installation -
The package installation will now begin on your system. Once complete, click Close. If asked to restart the computer, then click Restart.
Restart computer or close the installation wizard
Silent Installation
You can also install Visual C++ Redistributable in silent mode. The installer comes with a “/q” switch that can be used to run the VC++ installer in silent mode using the command line.
There are two ways to run the installer with the “/q” switch. One is to create a shortcut of the downloaded setup file and append “/q /norestart” at the end of the target field in shortcut properties.
The second way is to run the installer from the command line. Here is an example of how I ran the installer in quiet mode:
C:\Users\Usman\Downloads\vc_redist.x64.exe /q /norestart
Uninstall the Visual C++ Packages
The Uninstallation of the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable packages is the same as you do with any other program. You can uninstall the packages from Programs and Features. To uninstall the package, follow the steps below:
- Open Apps and Features (Windows key + X + F) [Programs and Features in Windows 7]
- Search for Visual C++
- Select the installed program you want to uninstall
- Press the Uninstall button.
You may want to ask if it is OK to uninstall any Visual C++ package? My answer is simple; uninstall it if it is necessary. Otherwise, leave it, as multiple versions do not take up a lot of disk space and only provide additional functionality when needed.
Can’t Install Visual C++ Redistributable?
If you get the following error while running vc_redist.x64.exe or vc_redist.x86.exe, it means you already have an installation of VC++ pending on your computer. Please uninstall and proceed with the new installation.
Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable Setup Failed 0x80070666
To get past this error, follow the instructions below:
-
Download Visual C++ redistributable again.
-
Run an elevated Command Prompt.
-
Change the directory to the one which has the “vc_redist.x64.exe” file. For example, I downloaded it in my Downloads folder.
cd C:\Users\<Username>\Downloads\
-
Then, run the uninstaller:
vc_redist.x64.exe /uninstall

Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable
Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributables are a package of libraries (files and resources) necessary for running programs developed with Microsoft Visual C++. These components include the C Runtime (CRT), Standard C++, MFC, C++ AMP, and OpenMP libraries. Without these components, Visual C++ programs wouldn’t be able to access resources to run properly.

Operating System:
Windows
Application Category:
Developer Tools
Pros
- Many Windows applications require these code libraries to run. These libraries are developed, tested, supported, and updated by Microsoft, which makes them a reliable option for both software developers and users.
- Redistributables offer a single installation on a user’s computer that multiple programs can use simultaneously.
Cons
- Not all programs use the same versions of the code libraries, so it is common to have multiple versions installed simultaneously on Windows.
- When programs are updated or uninstalled, they typically do not uninstall the redistributables, and there’s no easy way to know which ones your machine requires.
Основная масса игр и программ требует установленного Microsoft Visual C++ — без этого пакета приложения просто не запустятся. При этом пользователи будут видеть многочисленные ошибки, так или иначе связанные с MSVC, самая распространённая из которых — runtime library error.
Обычно при установке приложений Microsoft Visual C++ redistributable package устанавливается автоматически, но не исключены и некоторые ошибки, возникающие в процессе инсталляции. В большинстве случаев это связано с использованием контрфактного ПО или с вирусными атаками.
Разновидности пакетов
Существует несколько версий продукта, в том числе и под разные архитектуры. Как и большинство приложений, Microsoft Visual C++ выпускается для систем 32/ 64bit, и рекомендуется использовать полностью совместимый пакет, чтобы исключить возможные ошибки при работе. На ОС х64 может быть установлена как 32-разрядная (x86), так и 64-разрядная (x64) версия, и в большинстве случаев для запуска игр в таких системах требуется наличие обоих пакетов.
Вы можете скачать Microsoft Visual C бесплатно для Windows XP, 7, 8, 8.1,10 и исправить ошибки самостоятельно. Программная среда не занимает много места на жёстком диске, и установка нескольких версий в одну ОС практикуется довольно часто. Это объясняется тем, что старые игры и программы могут корректно работать только под старой версией продукта, а новые, наоборот, требуют обновлённых библиотек.
С чего начать установку Visual C++?
- Нужно определить какая у Вас разрядность системы: 32 или 64 bit. Если у Вас 64bit, то ставим обе версии 32/64, если у Вас система 32bit — ставим только 32
- Зайдите через панель управления в «Программы и компоненты» и посмотрите, какие уже установлены версии Visual C++
- На моём компьютере (автора статьи), установлены полностью все версии. Что и способствует запуску игр как новых так и старых без ошибок
- Устанавливайте все отсутствующие версии начиная с самой первой — 2005, и доходите до последней — 2017. (Если вы не знаете от какой версии файлы, но на нашем сайте всё указано в описании для каждого файла.)
- Установка много времени не займет, только так, вы загрузите все библиотеки DLL

Внимание: Visual C++ 2015, 2017, 2019, 2022 содержат одинаковые распространяемые файлы.
Но есть нюанс, установка на компьютер 2019 версии может повлиять на игры или программы написанные на ранее созданных версия 2015 и 2017. А вот если установить отдельно пакет Visual C++ 2015, то он не заменит файлы более поздних версий. Visual C++ версий 2013 и более ранние, не относятся к данному пункту, т.к у них свои собственные файлы не зависимые друг от друга
