I get the same error on Windows 8.1 Pro with Media Center Edition.
I'm having the exact same error when I try to run the server under Windows 7. Dropped support, really? It worked before.
Copied chakra.dll from my Windows 10 computer to my Windows 7 Minecraft Server and now get an error: "The program can't start because api-ms-win-core-atoms-l1-1-0.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem."
Looks like the following is related to that:

Can't seem to find that same file on my Win10 PC, so can't just copy it over. Not sure if this is helpful or not...
have the same issue as well missing two files, you can see them here

BDS-300You need Windows 10 to use BDS.
well I don’t run a windows client OS as a server ever! Appears more worlds use this format bedrock and yet your forcing windows 10 only.? You should be targeting a server OS also so server hosting sites will run your formats. Till you start supporting what you push I’ll be forced to use pocketmine!
no way I’m gonna use my laptop and have it on if I wanna play with my bro’s!
Server OS's (Windows based) work as long as they use the Windows 10 base
kernel. So a 2016 or 2019 server should work (and do for me).Alternatively you can use Linux.
Hi, I downloaded the Minecraft rock bed and when I started I received an error that said I couldn't find chakra dll and I had no choice but to close it
chakra not found and I can not do anything
A brand new install of Server 2019 (no GUI) gets this error. I wiped the VM and reinstalled Server 2019 With Desktop Experience, no longer get the error.
With the release of 1.16 we now have a list of supported Operating Systems:
For occurrences of this issue and other issues on Windows 7 and non-Ubuntu Linux distributions this is not supported. However because it still occurs on a Server 2016 or 2019 install without the Desktop Experience it will remain open for that specific instance.

I've got it to work on the Core (i.e. no Desktop Experience) version of Server 2019 by installing the Server Core App Compatibility Feature on Demand.
Reinstall the bedrock server.
Please see the comments for a solution. Please also make sure you meet the requirements before downloading/starting a server
