    Download this https://mega.nz/#!sspHkAbI!MdS9vOjRrc2dhV6rOjU-Ksj5bIUv\_9rsya\_Jw52uPN0 and put that 2 files in  C:\Windows\System   not in C:\Windows\System32   and it works 100%. That software you want to run want  MSVCR100.dll (x86) not (x64).

    I had this exact problem. A number of applications and services couldn't run because MSVCP100.DLL was missing. The crazy thing about this is that it didn't start immediately after Win 10 installation. The problem actually started a day later. Of course the file was actually exactly where it should have been in the system32 folder.

    I was at my wit's end and in desperation downloaded Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2015. It took over an hour to download and install, but afterward everything worked again.  I have to wonder if Microsoft actually tested this operation system outside a development environment. I wonder if I can now uninstall the development environment since I am not a software developer.

    I am well informed that Windows 10 was BETA Tested by their user professionals for some 6 months before it was launched, The problem is that they were ALL working on Clean Installations, no upgrades, so Microsoft failed to find these upgrade incompatibilities. Through shear perseverance I found my problem and no doubt many others also.
