Origin wont work after Window 10 update

[kiluhhh]

I updated my laptop from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 a couple of days ago ever since then origin wouldn't open it kept saying this : 

C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\MSVCP120.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. Try installing the program again using the original installation media or contact your system administrator of the software vendor for support. Error status 0xc000012f. 

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Origin on windows 10 and it kept saying that so i was like wtf. I looked thorugh here and apparently alot of people have had that problem after Windows 10 ad they said to uninstall Windows 10 and it should work so i did so because I honestly don't need all that stuff on my laptop i got it so i could play The Sims. After uninstalling Windows 10 and going back to Windows 8.1 i proceeded to try to open Origin AND IT STILL WOULDN'T WORK.  

Thinking maybe if i tried to uninstall and reinstall Origin again it would work but it still hasn't work and I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling atleast 10 different times and i honestly don't know what to do anymore. 

Anyone else had this problem or a way to fix this? Please help!

i have tried everything. Nothing seems to work. The only solution would be for EA to release a new Origin update, that makes it compatible with windows 10.
