Windows 10: msvcr100.* missing W10Pro_x64 20h2 build 19042.746

msvcr100.DLL and msvcr100.EXE are missing on my system.
All VC++ have been installed, removed, reinstalled, had a TOTAL WIN re-install with immediate install of VC++ 2010 (and SP1), did this in Safe Mode, Admin Account, I have done CMD (as Admin) SFC, CMD (as admin) chkdsk /f, ... (None found any issue)

No matter WHAT I do... some programs (mainly games) just do NOT find either file, though these ARE in C:\WINDOWS\SYS32 and C:\WINDOWS\SYSWOW64.

Tried pasting these from another installation (came from a previous Win10Pro_x64 version), no result.

Ever since 20h2 I have been having this issue, and no matter what I try, not ball.

System:
Mainboard: MSI MAG 460
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-10600K CPU @ 4.10GHz 4.10 GHz
RAM32.0 GB
GPU: MSI RTX 3070
SSD: Samsung 250GB
HDD: 4x Seagate 4TB Green (Eco)

How can I fix this DANG frustrating issue, please?
Anyway to FORCE it to be found/recognized/used?

Thank you:
Ben

If need for more information, please ask.

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.
