I guess that you're using Windows 7 since Windows 10+ includes the Universal C Runtime (ucrt) as a required system component, for which "api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0-dll" is a virtual API set (mapped to ucrtbase.dll), which can never be missing, and since Windows 8.1 is relatively uncommon (2-3% of installations). Python 3.10 requires Windows 8.1 and above. If you're using Windows 7, you should be able to install and use Python 3.8.10: https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.8.10/python-3.8.10-amd64.exe If you need to install ucrt, here's the link for the update that was released in 2016: https://support.microsoft.com/kb/3118401 -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
