When I'm trying to launch some softwares like Photoshop, WAMP, XAMP etc. An error message pops up saying "api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll is missing". How do i fix this issue? I'm using a newly installed Windows 8.1 PRO!

Try downloading and installing this update from Microsoft https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2999226 .

It says that this update is not available for your system!

Then go to Windows updates and install all the available updates! That should fix the issue.
