This runtime library is used by programs written in Visual C++ and a few other compilers (e.g. [[MinGW]]). Some compilers have their own runtime libraries.
=== UCRT ===
With Version 14.0 ([[Visual_Studio|Visual Studio 2015]]), most of the C/C++ runtime was moved into a new DLL, UCRTBASE.DLL, which conforms closely with C99[https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/porting/upgrade-your-code-to-the-universal-crt?view=msvc-170]. '''Universal C Run Time''' ('''UCRT''') from Windows 10 onwards become a component part of Windows[https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/porting/upgrade-your-code-to-the-universal-crt?view=msvc-170], so every compiler (either non MS, like [[GNU_Compiler_Collection|GCC]] or [[Clang]]/[[LLVM]]) can link against UCRT[https://www.msys2.org/docs/environments/]. Additionally, C/C++ programs using UCRTBASE.DLL need to link against another new DLL, the Visual C++ Runtime. At Version 14.0, this was VCRUNTIME140.DLL.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/porting/binary-compat-2015-2017?view=msvc-170 | title=C++ binary compatibility 2015-2022 | date=11 March 2024 }}</ref> The name has the potential to change at future versions, but has not done so as far as of Version 17.0.
