This is a somewhat recent install of Windows 7 Ultimate on an ASUS N551JQ originally running Windows 8.1. I just noticed today that, when trying to run a variety of programs, I get an error message stating the following; (This example is from the installer for The Sims, but it happens on quite a few programs including GTA V’s installer and Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn’s installer. It also happens when using the Windows 7 Logon Background Changer.)<\/p>\n

AutoPlay: start.exe – Entry Point Not Found<\/b><\/p>\n

“The procedure entry point ucrtbase.teminate could not be located in the dynamic link library api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll”<\/i><\/p>\n

Every application that displays this error proceeds to run perfectly fine afterward. Also, the exact same error appears two more times after clicking OK.<\/p>\n

I did a bit of research to find a fix, and ended up finding quite a few different solutions. One suggested uninstalling Visual Studio C++ 2015’s runtime, which I managed to do after a bit of struggling with the uninstaller for both the x86 and x64 versions. It didn’t help at all.<\/p>\n

I don’t know if it’s related, but I’ve also noticed that YouTube videos will randomly fail to play at all in Google Chrome. A restart fixes this.<\/p>\n

At this point, I’m just annoyed and don’t really know where to go from this point,<\/p>\n

Any suggestions?<\/p>\n
