\\Solved\\ EALink.exe System Error (.dll Files not found)

Updated Battlefield 2042 Today (09.12.2021) to Update #3.1

Everything worked well during the Update, now errors nothing


Now if i try to boot ANY Battlefield (BF4, BFV or BF2042) i get an error Message and it says EALink.exe cant find MSVCP140.dll and VCRUNTIME140_1.dll

Before the update i could Play it with no Problems.

I can't Start Origin ether

I even cant reinstall Origin bcs the Origin uninstaller aperetnly need the dll files ....

I already downloaded the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Packages 2015 - 2019, uninstall all, install everything new, it says "Setup was successful"

I try to boot BF or Origin again

The error is still showing up.

dll.png are the Error Messages (there are in German) its say it cant start bcs EALink.exe cant find the two files but there on my Computer in the right Folder.
If it helps i attached my DxDiag also


I hope someone can help me


UPDATE: 
I fixed it !  

If someone has the same Problem here is what i did:

!! Disclaimer: I dont know what exactly i did here is just google everything in the past 3 hours and I am not to blame if something goes wrong, it just worked that way for me and you act at your own risk !!

Close everything thats running, Steam, Origin, etc. (for safety i dont know what Programs use this .dll files)
In the Searchbar: Search for Apps & Features
Type in the now open Searchbar Microsoft Visual C++

Delete all Apps with that name (left click and deinstall)
Go to the Microsoft Website and download Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable Update 3 ( Downloadlink from the Official Microsoft Website > CLICK )

It ask what Version you want, i selected both ( i dont know if i need the 32 bit version on my 64 bit pc but i did it anyway) 
If you dont know what bit System you have

  1. Left click on your Windows Symbol 
  2. Click System
  3. There you can see some Info about your PC, you can see what if your pc is running 32 or 64 bit  

After you dowloaded the right File for you System, open and install it

Now i deleted my probably corrupted .dll files that the Program couldn't find and dowloaded the fresh new one:

Go to C: > Windows > System 32 (Press S to find the Folder bit faster) > search for MSVCP140.dll (Press M to find the File bit faster) and VCRUNTIME140_1.dll (Press V to find the File bit faster) > right click > delete (don't close that window yet)

Now go to the Official DLL-FILE Site and download MSVCP140.dll and VCRUNTIME140_1.dll make sure you download the right bit version ! ( CLICK for MSVCP140_1.dll ) ( CLICK for VCRUNTIME140_1.dll )

After both Files ar downloaded copy them to the System 32 Folder
Close everything
Restart your PC
Now you can (hopfully) start Origin and/or Battlefield again 

I hope i said everything right what i did
