Windows 10: Fresh Win 8.1 unable to install any Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable's

After giving up on Windows 10 with much struggle I downgraded to 8.1, I already like it a whole lot more but I have been having trouble installing any Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 Redistributable's which are required to run for programs I need. Ampps It requires the api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll installed which apparently I can get from the Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable which just gives me the error because I'm missing api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll. I'm going around in circles. I have installed all updates, restarted, tried a few cmd scans as well. I would assume the Windows

Visual C++ Redistributable won't install?

This issue might if the Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package is not installed properly.

I suggest you to uninstall any existing Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Package and install the latest Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package to check if it helps.

Follow the below steps:

Step 1: Uninstall the exiting Microsoft Visual C++.

a) Press Windows key + x key and select
Programs and Features.

b) Right click on the Microsoft Visual C++ and uninstall it.

Step 2: Download the latest Microsoft Visual C++ and install it.

I purchased my laptop with Win. 7. I upgraded to Win. 8 to 8.1 and Win 10 Pro. It had problems. So much so that the recommendation I received was to do a reset. I did.

Win. 10 is working a great deal better. The reset placed a "Apps removed while refreshing your pc" file on my desktop. In it is the following. Do I need to re-load all of these on my pc?

Help and advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
