FullTrustNotifier.exe – System Error – VCRUNTIME140.dll and MSVCP140.dll not found

A Windows 11 machine randomly started popping up with system error dialogue boxes shortly after reboots and during use. The faulting executable was 'FullTrustNotifier.exe' and two or three dialogue boxes had to be acknowledged before the issue went away (for a few minutes).

The errors related to VCRUNTIME140.dll and MSVCP140.dll not being found, with the suggestion of reinstalling the program to fix the problem. However, it was not clear which app was causing the issue, so a quick reinstall of the latest Visual C++ runtime libraries was done, followed by a reboot, and then all appeared to be well. Both the x86 and x64 runtimes needed to be reinstalled (even on 64-bit system). The installers can be downloaded directly from Microsoft here:
