Windows 10: the mystery of the ''MSVCP140.dlll'' please help

Hi, so long story short, I bought The Sims 4 today on Origin. To play it you need to download the launcher, so I tried, but then a message popped up and said something like ''MSVCP140.dlll is missing, delete the program and reinstall it to fix the issue.''
I did, and it still didn't work for some reason.
Then I tried on Steam! Same problem. I tried to play another game to see if it happens again, and it worked perfectly.

So I looked on some websites and found some solutions, but you have to pay for them, I don't have the funds for that.

What's the issue with the missing file? What should I do?

:)
