    I just did a clean install of windows (blue screened every time it started windows) and every time I open steam it says c++ runtime closed it in an unusual way

    sorry for the late reply, it was included on one of my games (Shogun 2 total war), under Steam > steamapps > common > total war shogun 2 > redist > vc_redist_x86.

    like what c69k said you could also download it from microsoft or try reinstalling steam (make sure to backup all your games first or else you'll end up downloading them again :p )
