The part means it contains the specific tools required for software built in that year. The x64 part means it is designed for 64-bit operating systems. The Redistributable part means developers are allowed to package this requirement with their apps, or you can install it yourself centrally.
: Remove VS 2013 redist from high-security systems if no application depends on it. Use application whitelisting to prevent unknown software from calling the outdated runtime.
For passive (visible but no input required):
Applications that require include:
The is a package of runtime library files required to run applications built with Visual Studio 2013 on 64-bit Windows operating systems. It allows these programs to access pre-written C++ code for tasks like math calculations or handling files without needing the full development suite installed on your PC. Key Features and Components
: Instead of including every library file inside the app itself (which would make the app huge), the developer "links" the app to this redistributable package.
| Feature | VS 2013 (x64) | VS 2015–2022 (x64) | |---------|---------------|----------------------| | | Standalone per version | Universal CRT (shared) | | DLL names | msvcr120.dll | vcruntime140.dll , ucrtbase.dll | | Support lifecycle | Ended April 2024 | Still supported (latest updates) | | Windows 11 compatible | Yes (via compatibility layer) | Native | | Side-by-side installs | Yes | Yes (but shared UCRT) |
: Unlike newer redistributables (2015–2022), the 2013 version does not use a universal CRT architecture. Each major VS version before 2015 had its own isolated runtime.
While most programs install the redistributable automatically, you can manually download it if a file becomes corrupted or is missing.
