How to Fix msvcr120-64.dll Errors Without Downloading the DLL File

Downloading individual DLL files from third-party websites is unsafe and can introduce malware. Instead, you can fix the error using secure, built-in Windows utilities or official repair options.

1. Repair the Visual C++ 2013 Redistributable Package

If the file is corrupted, you can fix it via the Windows Control Panel using the cached installer data.

• Press Windows Key + R, type appwiz.cpl, and press Enter.
• Scroll through the list to find Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 Redistributable (x64).
• Right-click the entry and select Change.
• Click the Repair button in the pop-up window.
• Restart your computer after the process completes.

2. Run the System File Checker (SFC) Scan

Windows has a built-in tool designed to scan system folders and automatically restore missing or corrupted system files from a local backup cache.

• Open the Start menu, type cmd, right-click Command Prompt, and select Run as administrator.
• Type sfc /scannow and press Enter.
• Wait for the verification to reach 100%.
• If corruption is found but cannot be fixed locally, run DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth in the same window, then restart.

3. Reinstall the Program Throwing the Error

The application causing the error might have damaged its own link to the file during installation.

• Open Programs and Features (appwiz.cpl).
• Uninstall the specific software or game that is failing to launch.
• Restart your PC.
• Install the program again to automatically re-register its necessary system components.
