This error will pop up either randomly or while trying to run a game. The error message will crash the cnext.exe and it will prevent the use of applications like games that need this process. Some users might see a RadeonSettings.exe – system error with the Qt5Core.dll file missing. The Qt5Core.dll file missing will appear just like the MSVCP120.dll missing message. Both of these problems are quite similar with the same solutions. So, if you have any of these problems then the solutions provided in this article will work for you. These errors happen because of the Radeon crimson driver. The driver has a problem that causes your system to misbehave. That is why these problems will most likely start after updating your AMD drivers. The problem can also happen because of the corrupted files or improper installation of the AMD related applications. If you started seeing these errors specifically after installing an AMD related application then it’s highly likely that there was a problem in the installation. If none of these two scenarios apply to you then the problem might simply be caused by a corrupted file. It is also common that a system file gets corrupted. The good thing about this situation is that the problem can easily be solved. The missing dll error can be rectified.
Method 1: Download Microsoft Redistributable
If you are seeing the Cnext.exe cannot start because it cannot find MSVCP120.dll error then the problem can easily be solved by installing the latest Visual Studio C++ 2015 Redistributable. The error is happening because a dll file is missing from the computer. There can be many reasons why the file is missing, the most common one being corruption, but the simple solution for this is to get the file on the computer. This file is a part of the Visual Studio C++ 2015 Redistributable and reinstalling this will resolve the issue. We already have a detailed article on how to solve this issue via the Microsoft Redistributable. Click here and follow the instructions given in this article. Once the redistributable is installed, check if the error appears again.
Method 2: Run System File Checker
SFC stands for System File Checker. This is basically Windows built-in tool for fixing any Windows related corrupt files. You can use this tool to fix any corrupt files that might be causing the issue. We have an article explaining how to use the System file checker tool.

Method 3: Re-register the dll files
Sometimes the issue might be related to the registration of the dll file. Regsvr32 is a tool built by Microsoft and it comes with almost every version of the Windows. Regsvr32 stands for Microsoft Register Server. As you might have already guessed by the name, this tool is used to register or unregister certain files including the dll files. So, if the problem is caused because the dll file isn’t registered then that will be solved via the Regsvr32. Here are the steps for registering your dll file.
Once done, check if the problem persists.
Method 4: Clean Install Drivers
If nothing else worked then you should try reinstalling the drivers. Make sure it’s a clean install because this is what worked for a lot of users. Note: Before trying to install the drivers, make sure your anti-virus application is disabled. These security applications are known to cause some issues with the installation process. You can simply right click your anti-virus application icon from the system tray (right bottom corner) and select Disable. If you don’t see any Disable option then simply double click the anti-virus application icon from the system tray and look for the Disable option on that panel. Almost all the major anti-virus applications have an option to disable the application temporarily.
You should be good to go once the system reboots. You will have a clean installation of the new drivers.
