The program can't be started because api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll is missing.

Hello people

Back again with another problem. I'm getting the error message as said in the title when I want to open an office program (excel,word,ppt,...). I've tried downloading it from the official site but also from non-official ones. I do have a legal code so don't worry about that but I just can't open the program at all. I tried reinstalling microsoft visual c++ but that didn't help. On an extra note I must say I have exactly 10 microsoft visual c++ files and I didn't try to delete those yet before reinstalling because I'm afraid to break it all.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
