OK, now let's try to establish whether your Emacs was linked against
UCRT or MSVCRT.  If you have objdump.exe (part of Binutils) installed,
please do

  objdump /path/to/emacs.exe | fgrep "DLL Name"

and see if the output includes msvcrt.dll (case-insensitive) or
ucrtbase.dll.

If you don't have objdump, try the dependency walker
(https://www.dependencywalker.com/) instead.  Or Process Explorer with
its lower panel set to show DLLs.  Look for msvcrt.dll or ucrtbase.dll.

Thanks.
