VCRUNTIME140.dll missing

Every time I start my computer I get an error message from Duplicati.GUI.TrayIcon.exe that VCRUNTIME140.dll is missing.

And idea what to do?

Try installing the latest VC++ Runtime: The latest supported Visual C++ downloads

Then restart your computer and see if the problem happens again.

Negative.

However, when I copied the VCRUNTIME140.dll to c:\windows\system32\ it worked.

Strange. Reinstalling the VC++ runtime from MS should have also placed the file in that location. In any case, glad your issue is resolved.

The error indicates that the file VCRuntime140.dll is missing from your computer. As per VCRUNTIME140.DLL you can download the VC 2015 Redistributable Package and replace the corrupted/deleted file with the fresh copy.
