    @Just-Lisa-Now- Thanks for your suggestion. With a google search, I found a DLL site's link: https://dlldownloads.com/api-ms-win-crt-heap-l1-1-0-dll/ I downloaded this file and replaced the older one with the new one, and my problem was solved. Thanks once again.

    That's a Windows .dll file.

    If you google     api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll      you'll find lots of pages explaining how to fix it when that file is missing.

    Lisa is correct. If you’re not technically inclined ask your IT person or Intuit tech support should be able to help

     

     

    If at first you don’t succeed…..find a workaround
