Hi there,

Sorry to hear about your experience with Photoshop as you're getting error VCruntime140 while opening Photoshop.

I assume that you are on Windows 10 based computer but would like to ensure that. If so, please follow the steps below to fix this problem:

• Open the Microsoft link - https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/help/2977003/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads
• Download these 2 files  “x64: vc_redist.x64.exe” & “x86: vc_redist.x86.exe” for "Visual Studio 2015, 2017 and 2019"
• Execute the files one by one
• Restart the computer once the patch is installed.
• Launch Photoshop and it should work fine.

Let us know how it goes.

Regards,

Akash
