Windows 10 – How to Fix Missing MSVCP120.dll and MSVCR120.dll

visual c++windows 10

I don't know how that happened. I was installing Battlefield 1 and now I can't even start Origin. I am getting "MSVCP120.dll is missing from your computer" (same for MSVCR120.dll).

I have installed Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable Update 3 for x86 and x64 but I'm still getting this message.

What am I missing?
