📝 Description

See https://www.msys2.org/docs/environments/

UCRT (Universal C Runtime) is a newer version which is also used by Microsoft Visual Studio by default. It should work and behave as if the code was compiled with MSVC.

  • Better compatibility with MSVC, both at build time and at run time.
  • It only ships by default on Windows 10 and for older versions you have to provide it yourself or depend on the user having it installed.
