Let's stick to your Windows Update thread for now. I suspect both problems may be related.
msvcp140.dll missing
Trying to run an app (Dolphin) and get this error message "msvcp140.dll missing". I downloaded the c++ 2015 and tried to install it. It always freezes or the progress bar never moves, even after leaving it there for hours. I really need help. I am running on Windows 7 on a HP Pavilion slimline.
