title: How to fix 'System.IO.FileNotFoundException' newer version of kernelbase.dll
body: <p>I have a program that has been running for quite some time, until the latest release of KERNELBASE.dll (10.0.17134.XXX) appeared on some PC's that are running Windows 10.</p>
  
  <p>I am using Visual Studio 2017 Version 15.5.7, programming in C#. PC's with earlier versions of KERNELBASE.dll (i.e. 10.0.14393.XXXX) have no problems running the program.</p>
  
  <p>The program fails in the MainForm_v2.Designer.cs code, when the         private void InitializeComponent() process is called. This contains a multitude of Windows initialization components; here is an excerpt:</p>
  
  <pre><code>        private void InitializeComponent()
          {
              this.components = new System.ComponentModel.Container();
              System.ComponentModel.ComponentResourceManager resources = new System.ComponentModel.ComponentResourceManager(typeof(MainForm_v2));
              this.fileToolStripMenuItem = new System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripMenuItem();
              this.newProjectToolStripMenuItem = new System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripMenuItem();
              this.createBlankProjectToolStripMenuItem = new System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripMenuItem();
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The error message I am receiving is:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Error 5/21/2019 3:51:23 PM Application Error 1000 (100)
