Here are some examples: A runtime error has occurred. Do you wish to debug? Runtime error! Program: &lt;path to app&gt; This application has requested the Runtime to terminate in an unusual way.

Some runtime errors are caused by memory-related issues, and restarting is the quickest way to close everything that&#39;s currently running on your PC. This will free up those previously used system resources for the program that&#39;s throwing the error. Update the program to its latest version.

The update procedure in the previous step might have done this, but if you&#39;re still getting the error, it&#39;s time to completely delete the program and confirm that it&#39;s being reinstalled from scratch. Some uninstallers don't do a great job at erasing every remnant of the file from the registry and hard drive.

Try a dedicated program uninstaller if the normal tool from the app maker doesn't fix the error. Install the latest Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable package.
