Asked By TechNovice123 On

I'm not very tech-savvy, so I need some help! Every time I try to open a program, I get the error message saying that "the program can't start because api-ms-win-crt-string-l1-1-0.dll is missing from your computer." Can someone explain how to fix this as if I'm a total beginner?

It sounds like you're running into a common problem! Usually, this missing DLL error can be solved with a quick Google search. It typically means you'll need the Visual C++ Redistributable package. It hosts the files your programs need to run properly. If you're using a Windows 8 tablet, search for the appropriate version and install it; that should help clear up the error.

To fix this issue, you should provide more details about what you're doing when you see the error. It really helps if you include specifics about the program you're trying to open and when the error started appearing. If you can, adding screenshots would be great too! But don't worry if you're unsure about that; it's a relatively simple fix. The error usually means your system is missing the Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015 or a newer version. Try downloading and installing that and see if it resolves your issue!
