Why do I get an error message that a file is missing when starting TWS?

The following error, "The program can’t start because api-ms-win-core-localization-|1-2-0.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem" is a direct result of security patch released by Microsoft for the Windows 7 operating system for Java 8+.

To address this issue please review the troubleshooting steps directly from Microsoft.
