DLL error when importing Excel file to Access 2016

I have a user (userA) trying to import an Excel file into a new Access database.  He is taking the route displayed in the below screenshots, and gets the same 'Cannot find DLL entry point GetUserDefaultLCID in kernel32' error message each time. 

A different user (userB) on another PC who is able to import the Excel file into an Access database.  I have mirrored the programs installed on userA's with userB the best I could, and still no luck.  I have tried saving the Excel file as different file types and importing it that way, but issue persists.  I have also tried installing Office 2013 x86, Office 2013 x64, Office 2016 x86, and Office 2016 x64; however, the issue persists.

UserA:

Windows 10 x64 Enterprise

(He previously had a different computer with Windows 7 x64 Enterprise, and was still unable to perform this action on that machine.)

UserB

Windows 7 x64 Enterprise

Microsoft 365 and Office | Access | For home | Windows

    Please open your own question for your issue. You'll get much better results that way.

    If the user is experiencing the exact same problem, wouldn't it be better to post it on this thread instead of opening a new one?

    They can, but the chances of help are remote, and they are MUCH better if the questions is opened as new. Many participants here won't open questions with a slew of replies, so the bigger the question gets, the less the chance of a solution.

    As an example, note this question - 3 comments now with no technical assistance provided.
