Comment:

 Hrm, generally, you should update CRT manually when you do app-local
 deployment. Without that your product will not get any security updates to
 CRT.

 There are a lot of reasons why you should upgrade to
 [https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/vcblog/2015/03/03/introducing-the-
 universal-crt/ UCRT] as Mozilla, but it should be solved as a mingw-w64
 issue. And it is harder than usual https://mingwpy.github.io/ucrt.html
