Windows 10: msvcr100.dl missing

I have a dell XPS 9300. i used to be able to download programs properly. however i got a virus and had to restore my laptop. now when i try to download application it says that MSVCR100.dl is missing. i have tried to install the driver and put it in the system 32 folder. i have a 64bit laptop. i have downloaded both the 82 bit and 64 bit dl files. i have tried to put them in both the system 32 folder. as well as the syswow folder. i have tried to install the microsoft c++ for years, 2010, 2015, 2017 . still nothing. i have done a factory reset. nothing seems to work.

MSVCR100.dll missing, but it is present

First of all, I have downloaded the runtimes suggested in the following answers:

• MSVCR100.dll missing error even its there
  
• WAMP shows error 'MSVCR100.dll' is missing when install
  
• Missing MSVCR100.DLL
  

Which are basically the same, but indicating different versions of the Visual C++ runtime. I tried all combinations of all versions of both 32 and 64 bit runtimes.

This is not a duplicate of either because the problem still ocurrs.

I have recently installed a fresh copy of Windows 10 on a new drive, but when trying to run some programs from the old drive, I get "DLL missing" errors for MSVCR100.dll and MSVCP100.dll.

My first instinct was installing the Visual C++ Runtime Redistributable, but this had no avail. After checking out the answers above, I found later versions of it, but the result was the same. The DLLs were appropriately placed by the installers in the SysWOW64 and System32 folders, yet the programs fail to detect them.

The programs in question are Steam (which despite the errors, still works, except for game updates) and CEMU (which doesn't open at all). I also hear the Windows "error sound" when turning off / restarting the computer, presumably due to those "missing" DLLs.

UPDATE

Even placing the DLLs directly beside the program and running it still causes errors.

Missing MSVCR100.dll after an update

Hi Alex,

The MSVCR100.dll error that you encountered after the recent update can be related to a missing or corrupted dll file. As an initial step to repair the corrupted file, we suggest that you run a full scan (SFC) and DISM. To do this, follow
the steps created by community MVP ZigZag3143 on this
