Hello,
An error window just came up suddenly when trying to start Spotify, it said "Cannot find 'api-ms-win-core-processthreads-l1-1-2.dll'. Please, re-install this application".
I don't believe I did anything to cause it, but I might be wrong, what I did was close spotify, then open it again after listening to a song on Windows Media Player, but when I tried to, that error showed up.
Prior to using spotify I was looking at www.blocket.se, which is basically a swedish buy-&-sell website, so that shouldn't have caused it. I have used blocket many times before without this happening.
I searched around on google a little, and whenever I searched for that error, the only thing that showed up was dll-files.com and dll files 4 free, and other <mod edit>, which is probably just junk.
I downloaded an mp3 file from a site called "convert2mp3.net/en/" before this happened, but I have also used that site before, so that's unlikely to cause this error.
I have no idea what could've caused this.
When I try to uninstall spotify (through control panel) it just shows the same error.
I can however launch other programs such as GIMP 2.8, control panel, Minecraft, and Razer Synapse.
I noticed that Windows got a lot slower after the error.
Now I have manually installed some updates and will see if that fixes anything after restarting.
