I downloaded Winpython64-3.9.0.2cod.exe but Spyder.exe refuses to start because it complains "api-ms-win-core-registry-l1-1-0.dll" is missing.

I installed Windows6.1-KB2999226-x64.msu as well as VC_redist.x64.exe, this did not fix the problem.
Then I installed Spyder 4.2 native (Spyder_64bit_full.exe from Spyder's website), this version of Spyder starts. But the version within Winpython does not start.

OS: Win7 64bit

you have to download a much much older WinPython to get it working on Windows7. July 2016 at most

Not necessarily, I use latest WinPython on Windows7, and it's works (at least in the python area). You need to manually download the file api-ms-win-core-registry-l1-1-0.dll and put it in WinPython\python-3.9.0.amd64 or WinPython\python-3.9.0.amd64\DLLs (I don't remember exactly), or in C:\Windows\System32.

Installing Windows6.1-KB2999226-x64.msu or VC_redist.x64.exe will not help here because for Win7 these packages do not contain the file api-ms-win-core-registry-l1-1-0.dll.

so for Windows 7, last version that may still work is WinPython-3.8.9.0 of April 21th, 2021.
the older the better

Thanks for the info.
Since Win7 is EOL in the meantime, I close this thread
