msvcr120.dll is a Microsoft C Runtime file required by programs built with Visual C++ 2013. If it’s missing, you can fix it by reinstalling the program, installing the Visual C++ 2013 Redistributable, or running sfc /scannow in Command Prompt to repair system files. Avoid downloading the DLL from random sites, as it can be unsafe.

It’s a file from Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable 2013 that some apps need to run, just reinstall that package from Microsoft’s official site and it usually fixes it right away
