Test VC Runtime - Windows Workstations

Summary​

This compound condition finds Windows workstations with a corrupted Microsoft Visual C++ runtime and repairs them automatically. It is part of the Visual C++ Health Remediation solution.

What It Does​

  1. Every 24 hours, it runs Test VC Runtime to check the runtime. This check makes no changes.
  2. If the check finds corruption, it runs Test VC Runtime again with Remediate checked to repair it.
  3. It resets on its own once the runtime is healthy again.

A check that fails for another reason, such as no internet access, does not trigger a repair. The repair never restarts the workstation.

Turn It On​

Set cPVAL VC Runtime Remediation to Windows or Windows Workstations for the organization, location, or device. Set it to Disable to exclude one.
