SUMMARY

Falkon doesnt start on windows 7 if a certain number of dlls arent in the system.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

1. Install falkon
2. A msg saying it needs api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll will appear
3. Grab this dll and put it in the falkon's folder or system32 folder, the msg will disappear but falkon wont start

I had better luck downloading this update:

https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/help/2999226/update-for-universal-c-runtime-in-windows

This fixed my problem and falkon works fine but a program shouldnt require a windows update to run, none of the programs i have or had EVER required this unknown amount of dlls from an update to run.

Otter browser (QtWebEngine Version) doesnt require this to run and it runs fine.
