Hi Ward,

Most api-ms-win-core-path-l1-1-0.dll errors are related to missing or corrupt api-ms-win-core-path-l1-1-0.dll files.

More specifically, these api-ms-win-core-path-l1-1-0.dll errors can be caused by:

• Invalid or corrupt api-ms-win-core-path-l1-1-0.dll registry entry.

In line with this, I would like to know more and I would appreciate if you can provide the following information:
