api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll is missing (no replies)

Ran this Tool check_vcredist.exe

Installed all Packages as per the Tool
Ran Tool again
It said All Packages needed for WAMP are there

I'm on a WIN8.1 Acer V5-561G laptop

Installed wampserver3.2.3_x64.exe
At the end of the installation i get the error:
-------------------------------------
httpd.exe - System Error
<<The program can't start because api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll is missing from your computer>>
-------------------------------------


Did many many things as per various suggestions

+ updated Windows
+ uninstalled MsVC++ 2015-2019 Redistributable (x86) - 14.28.29913
+ uninstalled MsVC++ 2015-2019 Redistributable (x64) - 14.28.29913
+ reinstalled both
+ ran WAMP (stayed on Amber) 2/3 services running

+ uninstalled MsVC++ 2015-2019 Redistributable (x86) - 14.28.29913
+ uninstalled MsVC++ 2015-2019 Redistributable (x64) - 14.28.29913
+ installed MsVC++ 2015 Redistributable (x86)
+ installed MsVC++ 2015 Redistributable (x64)
+ uninstalled WAMP; and reinstalled it
+ ran WAMP (stayed on Amber) 2/3 services running

+ uninstalled MsVC++ 2015 Redistributable (x86)
+ uninstalled MsVC++ 2015 Redistributable (x64)
+ installed MsVC++ 2017 Redistributable (x86)
+ installed MsVC++ 2017 Redistributable (x64)
+ uninstalled WAMP; and reinstalled it
+ ran WAMP (stayed on Amber) 2/3 services running

Each time i reinstalled WAMP, i kept getting the "MISSING api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll" ERROR, and if i ran WAMP, only 2 out of 3 services would show as running (Amber icon in system tray)

Hope someone can guide/help
I'm not well-versed with Server matters
