    Hi @axdog2007p,

    Please try this solution and see if it work:

    1. Press Windows logo key + R, then Type "regedit" and click OK.
    2. Copy the path below and paste it in the address bar.
      HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows
    3. You will see a string called "AppInit_DLLs", right click on it and select "Modify..." from the menu.
    4. Change the value data to "0" and click OK. After that, restart your computer.

    NOTE: If the string can't be found, create a new string and name it "AppInit_DLLs" and set the value data to "0".

    Hi @axdog2007p,

    This error code indicates that there is something corrupted within your Windows files. You have to run the System File Checker tool to repair it. Please follow these steps:

    1. Run CMD as administrator and type this command "sfc /scannow".
    2. Press Enter and wait for the process to finish.
    3. Once the process is complete, type this command "Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth" and press Enter.

    NOTE: Restart your PC once the processes are complete.

    Now uninstall every Microsoft Visual C++ (2005-2022).

    1. Go to Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features.

    2. Use "Search" (top-right corner) and type 'Visual' then uninstall every Microsoft Visual C++ 20XX

    3. Download Microsoft Visual C++ 20XX then install.
    4. Go to game files and install redist installers (x64 + x86). You can find it in this path
      Battlefield 1\__Installer\vc\vc2013\redist

    NOTE: Restart your PC once the processes are complete.

    Things to note:

    @axdog2007p, I have gathered these possible solutions under the spoiler tag, hopefully one of them may fix the issue you are facing.

    .NET Framework is disabled by default in Windows 10.

    Spoiler
    To enable .NET Framework in Windows 10, follow these steps:
    1. Go to Control Panel > Uninstall a program > Turn Windows features on or off.
    2. Expand and check any .NET Framework you see.
    3. Reinstall Latest Supported Visual C++ Redistributable.
    4. Go to game folder and install/repair both redist installers (x86 & x64).
      Battlefield 1\__Installer\vc\vc2013\redistvcredist_x64.exe
Battlefield 1\__Installer\vc\vc2013\redistvcredist_x86.exe

    Things to note:
    ◉  Run installers as administrator.
    ◉  If you get the message that the file is already installed, select Repair instead.
    ◉  Restart your PC after installation.

    Once the installation is complete, the game should be working fine.

    Scan your hard drives for errors and corrupted files.

    Spoiler

    1. Open File Explorer and Go to This PC.
    2. Right-click on your C Drive and select Properties from the menu.
    3. Select the Tools tab. Under the “Error checking” section, click on the Check button. 
      3 Ways to Run Disk Error Check in Windows 10, 8 and 7 | Password Recovery
    NOTE: Do this for all hard drives that has Windows, Steam and the game installed.

    Windows error pointing to an issue with your system.

    Spoiler
    Try a clean boot to see if it helps: https://help.ea.com/en-us/help/faq/how-to-clean-boot-your-pc/

    If your VC++ is fully installed and up to date, then I would recommend the steps suggested in this Microsoft help thread: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/windows-error-0xc000007b/3933c823-7a63-4356-8ef5-69fcc0ed18f3

    If none of the provided solutions worked for you, then there is not much I could help you with apart from saying report it as a bug.
