My photoshop at work won't start up anymore.

It says there is a file missing: api-ms-win-libraryloader-l1-2-0.dll.

Anybody knows how to fix this?

Thanks in advance for any help.

That seems to be a Windows DLL. However, I do not see it in Windows 10 and Photoshop works fine what version of windows are you using Photoshop 22 requires Windows 10.

Not sure what's causing it but seems to be related to ACR version 13.1 on Windows 7 with Photoshop version 21.2.4, no issues on Windows 10 with Photoshop version 22.1
