For the record: https://www.msys2.org/docs/environments/#msvcrt-vs-ucrt states: > MSVCRT […] Works out of the box on every Microsoft Windows versions. This is not entirely true. MSVCRT.DLL was introduced in Windows 95 OSR 2. The original Windows 95, with or without the only service pack released for it (SP1, because OSR 2 was not released as a service pack, only as an "OEM service release" for new computers), shipped only the even older CRTDLL.DLL (which MinGW stopped supporting years ago) out of the box, MSVCRT.DLL had to be installed through a redistributable (which was included with many applications including Microsoft Office, but it was not part of the operating system). But yes, for Windows releases ≥ 95 OSR 2 and < 10 (and no, Windows version numbers are not anywhere near monotonic ;-) ), MSVCRT is included out of the box, UCRT is not. Is it really a good default to depend on a runtime library that is only included in Windows ≥ 10?
