msvcp140_2_app.dll is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like msvcp140_2_app.dll, are essentially a "guide book" that stores information and instructions for executable (EXE) files - like 7z.exe - to follow. These files were created so that multiple programs (eg. CyberLink Media Suite) could share the same msvcp140_2_app.dll file, saving valuable memory allocation, therefore making your computer run more efficiently.
Unfortunately, what makes DLL files so convenient and efficient, also makes them extremely vulnerable to problems. If something happens to a shared DLL file, either it goes missing or gets corrupted in some way, it can generate a "runtime" error message. Runtime is pretty self-explanatory; it means that these errors are triggered when msvcp140_2_app.dll is attempted to be loaded either when CyberLink Media Suite is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common msvcp140_2_app.dll errors include:
- Access Violation at address - msvcp140_2_app.dll.
- msvcp140_2_app.dll could not be found.
- Cannot find C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.VCLibs.140.00_14.0.27810.0_x86__8wekyb3d8bbwe\msvcp140_2_app.dll.
- Cannot register msvcp140_2_app.dll.

- The file msvcp140_2_app.dll is missing or corrupt.
- This application failed to start because msvcp140_2_app.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
Your msvcp140_2_app.dll file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with CyberLink Media Suite), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, msvcp140_2_app.dll file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading CyberLink Media Suite, system crash while loading msvcp140_2_app.dll, bad sectors on your storage media (usually your primary hard drive), or quite commonly, a malware infection. Thus, it's critical to make sure your anti-virus is kept up-to-date and scanning regularly.
