This CRT is announced to be stable across major VS versions (https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/vcblog/2015/03/03/introducing-the-universal-crt/) and will thus hopefully tame the Windows CRT jungle.

Unfortunately, not in the way it is officially documented. Officially you would still need vcruntimeXXX.dll that are not distributed with the OS,

Unofficially, there is a workaround [1], which makes it possible to use ucrtbase.dll without vcruntimeXXX.dll, but this is still not problem free [2].
