    I fixed it - check your DMs. I left you an email address if you need me to send the file.

    Also, I forgot one part of the instructions.  Make sure to turn OFF "view hidden files and folders" in your folder options on both machines after you complete the copy and paste

Thanks for replying! Good to know I'm not the only one with this issue, hopefully that means it has a higher chance of getting fixed. Anyway I tried searching in regedit and found nothing as well as running a scan to repair windows system files in-case anything was missing or broken and everything is good on my end. I'm just gonna leave it alone for now because I'm sure the latest update is causing this problem. Also post the sub-reddit thread when you get a chance I'll thumb it up. If you find anything new be sure to let me know and thanks again.

    Thanks for the fix! I'm gonna go ahead and mark your reply as the solution. If anyone in the future sees this Silverbeard50 sent me the missing file and I just copied it into my C:\Windows\System32 folder

    Make sure you turn on show hidden folders because the file is hidden

    1. Went to START then in the search box, typed, "folder options"
    2. Went into Folder Options and then hit the "View" tab
    3. Check the button that says, "Show hidden files, folders, and drives:"   Click Apply, but don't close the window
    4. Go back to the start button and then computer, navigating your way to c:\windows\system32
    5. Open the .zip file and then extract api-ms-win-core-path-l1-1-0.dll into the system32 folder
    6.  When you're done just re-click the button don't show hidden files. Worked like a charm for me - no more error.
