VLC media player rolled out its new update 2.2.1 “Terry Pratchett” few months ago. Since then, A lot of bugs have been reported by the users.
One of the major bug is “Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library Runtime Error”.
This happens mostly when you try to play multiple audio or video files at a same time by VLC.
HOW TO SOLVE??
1. First of all, you need to update/reinstall your Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Package. You can download it from the link provided below-

.Click on it and reset the preferences.
.Then open vlc > tools > preferences > show settings > all
.Then go to playlist > tick the following five boxes >
