[Windows] Anki crash when clicking import / export

@Spaghetti_420Blaze and everyone else,

Try installing the latest Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for X64 and restarting your PC.

and updating a Fiery printer driver (if you have one) by downloading the latest driver from the official website.

Recent Windows Updates Breaking Visual C++ (MSVCP140.dll)

The last several Windows updates seem to have been reverting MSVCP140.dll to an extremely old version, causing many apps to outright refuse to launch, or show an error regarding the DLL. Event Viewer logs an error with MSVCP140.dll as the faulting module

UPDATE: turns out a printer driver has taken it upon itself to copy its own bundled MSVCP140 DLLs to System32, overwriting any existing DLLs in its path, regardless of version, and will continue to do so as long as the driver remains installed.
