MSVCP140.dll is missing, or was not found. FIX error without downloading DLLs

Let's go through how to get those missing dlls directly from Microsoft Windows website

In short:

1. Search for "Visual C++ Redistributable"
2. Follow the video instructions on which version to choose
Note!! That you might need to install both versions 64 bit , and 32 bit, It depends on the program you're trying to run and which file version it's trying to access

3. Install, you're done

Long explanation:
When you try to run a program and you get the message

And right after it the message

To get the files directly from Microsoft you will need to get to the relevant redistributable, in this case the files you are looking for are part of the Visual C++ Redistributable, This is a free download that is available for Windows 10, Windows 7 And other Windows versions. one of the important things explained in the video is how to get the correct version for your computer either the 64 bit , or 32 bit.
If that doesn't fix your issue immediately it could be the case that the program you're trying to run is looking for a different version of the redistributable, and you might need to install the other version as well..

Just remember that absolutely under no circumstances should you download DLLs from any location other than the official Microsoft Windows website.

This didn't work for me at first. I read some of the comments and saw a comment that suggested installing both the x64 and the x86 versions of the visual ++ redistributable. After I installed both versions, my game worked. I figured that I would comment in case anyone else needed to see this without scrolling. Try installing both versions! Good luck debugging!
