Yeah, you can use it for games and video software (but you need to copy the file to the installation folder)
i tried but, it doesn't work
edit : i successfully get mkvtool to work (by using api-ms-win-core-synch-l1-2-0.dll from 6.3.9600.16384, renamed to api-ms-win-core-synch-l1-2-1.dll, copied in system32 folder, and modified mkvtool, mkvpropedit.exe, mkvmerge.exe, mkvinfo.exe and mkvextract.exe to use api-ms-win-core-synch-l1-2-1.dll by using cff explorer) but the system information menu freezes the app
