Windows 10: .dll Missing files for creative cloud?

the code execution cannot proceed because msvcp140.dll was not found.


The code execution cannot proceed because VCRUNTIME140.dll was not found.

Both these messages have popped up when I try to open adobe creative cloud- I have uninstalled/reinstalled, restarted my laptop, scanned it not sure if that would do anything and have searched through other files to look for them. I've looked online about it but am still having difficulty on this.


This laptop is new and has mcafee antivirus on it if that helps with whats going on? I'm just worried because I've read that it may slow down my laptop and I obviously don't want that to happen. Please help!!

How to remove "Creative Cloud Files" from File Explorer address bar

Does any one know how to remove this Creative Cloud Files option after uninstalling Creative Cloud app from Windows 10





Additional info :

1. This folder does not exist as I deleted C:\username\Creative Cloud Files after uninstallation
   
2. This is not from File Explorer address bar history
   
3. I've already tried clearing address bar history
   
4. I've reinstalled and used Official Uninstallers [ 1 ] & [ 2 ]
   
5. Suggestions about removing Creative Cloud Files from File Explorer Side Bar does not resolve this
   

I can't tell if this problem exist in other user account but i don't want to use that either.

Any hints or suggestions ?

Update

After much digging around & hints from @DrMoishe Pippik, I have reached another dead end.

If I go to %USERPROFILE%\Links there are two links Desktop & Downloads

Going inside Desktop, it shows me Creative Cloud Files but I cannot delete it as Delete option is not there and Unlocker could not delete/rename it





Hence the problem now becomes :

1. I cannot cannot access this file from command prompt as its link inside link. Weirdly I cannot find this in dir /al /s c:\ > c: either
   
2. I cannot change its permission as it shows the error below. Safe mode doesn't allow that either
   

Update

Registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FolderDes‌​criptions as requested by @harrymc can be found below

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion - Pastebin.com

Screenshot of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\NameSpace which didn't point to anything important either
