Windows 10: Vcruntime140.dll & more missing from svchost.

I am running a Windows 10 laptop made by Lenovo, powered by AMD. The exact model is the LENOVO Ideapad 320. The The laptop has been factory reseted in order to boost performance for such Valve games as Counter Strike: Global Offensive. On some of the other games I play, I use 3rd-party addon features to make the game(s) "funner". These 3rd party programs and launchers had no problems before the factory reset, but when I attempt to use the programs after the factory reset, I receive a pop up window stating that SVCHost.exe is missing VCRINTIME140.DLL and MSVCP140.DLL is missing. I try to reinstall it to system32, which has no use. I attempted to reinstall the programs, which caused nothing. Does anyone know what to do?
