Failure to play

After the latest update 2/4/2025 Diablo III fails to play. Error message says … VCRUNTIME140_1.dll not found. Error message suggested reloading Diablo III may fix the issue. Seems the issue is caused by the new update. Any suggestions?

This happened on 2 of my PC’s.
VCRUNTIME140_1.dll is a C++ file.
Go to microsoft (dot) com and search VC_redist.x64 (for 64 bit systems).
Download and run to reinstall all C++ files including the one missing.
Takes 5 mins and fixes the issue.
