missing api-ms-win-core-libraryloader-l1-1-1.dll preventing me from upgrading to windows 10

Anonymous

I'm currently on windows 7 and whenever I run Windows 10 upgrade assistant it gets to 99 then tells me I'm missing api-ms-win-core-libraryloader-l1-1-1.dll. I've tried running it on a clean boot, I've ran system cleanups to repair any corrupt files, I tried removing my antivirus, and still it won't work.

Does anyone have any other methods to fix so I can upgrade? any help appreciated!

I had the same "api-ms-win-core-libraryloader-l1-1-1.dll" missing issue

when upgrading Windows 7 to Windows 10

and finally I saw your post and tried fixing the problem

by "Replacing

C:\Windows10Upgrade\wimgapi.dll with the one from C:\Windows\System32\wimgapi.dll". It works.

This is the last day and I got the Solution.
1. Go to Local Disk C -> Windows -> System32and search for **'WIMG'**and copy the file.
2. Paste it in the WindowsUpdate folder in C.
3. Start the updater and problem will be solved.
