The code execution cannot proceed because VCRUNTIME140_1.dll was not found

I'm unable to run the game on a Lenovo Legion Y50 due to the following error message: "The code execution cannot proceed because VCRUNTIME140_1.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem. 

Reinstalling does not fix the problem. Any ideas?
