Why do I get the error 'The procedure entry point could not be located in the dynamic link library api-ms-win​-crt-runti​me-l1-1-0.​dll '

the procedure entry point could not be located in the dynamic link library api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll

This error is usually caused by corrupt or outdated Visual C++ Redist where another program has overwritten the libraries, or the program you are trying to run requires a newer version of the Visual C++. The latest one is 2017. The second most common for this issue to occur is when Windows Updates are outdated or the KB2999226 (Universal CRT) has failed. You cannot install Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 redist (runtime) unless you have Windows Update KB2999226 installed (at least on Windows 7 64-bit SP1).

Simple steps :

1 Download '' api-ms-win​-crt-runti​me-l1-1-0.​dll '' from internet
2 On a 64bit version of Windows, the default folder for 32bit DLL-files is C:\Windows\SysWOW64\ , and for 64bit dll-files C:\Windows\System32\ .
