Hi mbk98


This system error means that Universal CRT, which is part of the Visual C++ Redistributable has either failed to install properly, or is corrupt.

First check your system32 files by opening an elevated Command Prompt and typing "SFC /SCANNOW" without the quotation marks. (report the results).
Ensure that all Windows updates are installed.
You can download and repair Visual C++ Redistributable from here: https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/
