This error is usually caused by the missing Visual C++ Redistributable file, which is a required dependency for most of the application on Windows Computer.

Download Visual C++ Redistributable from here and install it. After installing this, Reboot the system.

In case nothing of the previous answers worked  add one of these paths to your PATH environment variable   C  Program Files  x86  Windows Kits 10 Redist ucrt DLLs x64 C  Program Files  x86  Windows Kits 10 Redist ucrt DLLs x86   Of course  make sure they exist first and that they contain the DLL files needed  If they don t exist  try installing  Windows Universal CRT SDK  from the Visual nbsp Studio nbsp 2015 or Visual nbsp Studio nbsp 2017 installer
