Entry point of the procedure not found in the dynamic link library Solved

Question

Hello,  I am trying to install software (Origin) but I get a "procedure entry point not found" error in the dynamic link library C:\Windows\SYSTEM32\VCRUNTIME140.dll.  I am on Windows 8.1 64-bit.  I have had numerous issues with api-ms-win-runtime-l1.dll which I seem to have managed to resolve. But now I am stuck.  I am also stuck on two Windows updates in Windows Update, which might be what's blocking everything but I don't understand. I run the updates (KB2990967 and KB3063843), the installation is successful but when I search for updates again, they keep reappearing.  I have been searching for hours, I hope someone can help me here. Thank you!  Configuration: Windows / Firefox 70.0

Hello,  This error often occurs when the DLL is too old compared to what the software expects. The function is not present.  Given the errors, your Windows 8 does not seem to be up to date. Especially since the KBs you mentioned are from 2014.  You need to install all the updates for Windows 8.  -- Please press any key to continue the disinfection...

Hi, thanks for your reply! I don’t know anything about computers, but that’s what I understood while browsing the forums. I tried several things, but every time, another problem arises. Since my message yesterday, I apparently managed to fix the entry point issue, but now the error 0xc000007b appears. Regarding my Windows 8, I don’t understand because those are the only two updates that Windows Update finds for me. Thank you for your help!

I will try these steps, thank you. However, right from the first update to install, if I go through Microsoft support, I cannot download it manually because the site opens this page:  404 - File or directory not found. The resource you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.  Is this normal? Thank you.
