Windows 8 failure configuring updates and reverting

I agree 8 is awful! It's not for me though... I replaced a broken screen in a Win 8 laptop that was given to me and I am going to give it for free to someone that can't afford one so they can do homework at home. Yes I took it from 8 to 8.1 back on 10/09/2014. This is what I posted there...

"Great post! I found a similar one. I would like to point out that you may want to edit your OP...

1. Step 1 should read to disable AUTOMATIC updates, not disable manual updates.

2. KB2871398 should really read KB2871389

I would like to say that KB2917499 may also be needed as it was in my case. I also had to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter after installing those 2 updates. After these steps I was able to begin my 8.1 download from the Microsoft store. I don't know if it made a difference or not, but I also went into the Bios and disabled "Secure Boot."

It was a helpful post. Thanks!

 

Who's downloaded the Windows 8.1 preview update?

For some reason the installer says the update is not applicable to your computer? (Win 8 Pro x64) anyone else try this what was released today?

Windows help & learning

EDIT: It appears the error is because the download is named Windows8-RT-KB2849636-x64 so looks like it's only for ARM based RT Windows 8 versions even though there's nothing suggesting that on the actual download page, so where's the x86 8.1 update people?

 

Error: ucrtbase.terminate not located in the dynamic link library api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll

History:
I purchased a refurbished laptop last week that came with windows 7 pro 64 preinstalled. It had a problem getting updates which I have fixed, but the machine has another error I don't know how to fix that says "The procedure entry point ucrtbase.terminate could not be located in the dynamic link library api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll."
This error manifests when I go to System, click to open System Protection, which opens, but then a pop up error says "The procedure entry point ucrtbase.terminate could not be located in the dynamic link library api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll." I then have to click "ok" three times to dismiss it before I can create a restore point (which is created fine as far as I can tell, I have not tried to use any of the restore points created this way).

System:
HP EliteBook 8460p A0001D02
2.50 ghz Intel Core i5-2520M
AMD Radeon HD 6470M
Windows 7 Professional (x64)

Question:
What are the options for solving the error: "The procedure entry point ucrtbase.terminate could not be located in the dynamic link library api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll."

I could ignore the error, but I need to know if it will be effecting the restore points in any significant negative manner if I choose to do so. That is the only error on the system that has popped up so far other than the update service problem which I solved last night. Advice appreciated.
