i have recently refreshed my computer but keeping all my files (it uninstalled origin, sims 4,sims3, etc.), i did this because my computer started to run slow, when i went to go download origin again it was going fine until it said "updating the latest version of origin" at first it said mscvp 140.dll then msvcr120.dll however once i downloaded the 2015-2019 64x and 86 vscredit it worked but now it tells me api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0-dll (yes i have downloaded vscredit 86x and 64x 2013, 2015-2019) i have uninstalled origin like 10 times and reinstalled HELP PLEASE it been 10 hours now and nothing works please i just want to play the sims 4 i have windows 8.1 and its 64 and i have mcafee for my security

Hey @hellaaserg this issue can be caused by an outdated VC++ installation. It can be resolved by manually running the installer from the Origin installation folder - the default location for this folder is:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin
From this folder, run one of both files:
If you get the message that the files are already installed, select Repair instead. It is recommended to run the installer as administrator (right-click the file, select run as admin).
