Hi! I signed up to share what fixed this issue for me. Thanks for making LMMS!
After trying quite a few things what worked for me were the directions in a Youtube video to download the 1.0.13 release version of the Bitwig studio demo, install Bitwig, pull out portaudio-x64.dll & rename it libportaudio-2.dll and place that in the LMMS folder instead of the one included with LMMS or the substitute mentioned previously relating to this issue.
The bad part is downloading a 116 MB file to pull out the small dll. The good part is that LMMS is now working perfectly on both machines. I would put the dll on a file server somewhere, but I presume that violates some sort of license or something related to Bitwig.
This the the youtube video:

This is the Bitwig version containing the dll that worked for me:
https://downloads.bitwig.com/stable/1.0 ... 1.0.13.msi
Specifics: this is re: 2 Asus laptops running Windows 10 Home 64 bit, both with Intel integrated and discrete Nvidia sound, and using the current version of LMMS, 1.1.3.
Both performed as per mentioned previously by others. Install proceeded normally, but on first run the LMMS intro screen showed for a moment then the C ++ runtime error message showed, leading to the close dialog without ever being able to open or use LMMS. No xml file was generated. LMMS had never run and could not be accessed on either device.
After replacing libportaudio-2.dll as suggested, at initialization both computers showed the "...can't start... 0xc000007b" error message.
I re/installed all of the C ++ redistributables from MS from 2005 through 2015 in both 64 and 32 bit.
I downloaded, renamed, and copied in the recommended replacement for libportaudio-2.dll after renaming the original in the LMMS folder.
Later I manually downloaded and installed various dlls mentioned elsewhere across the WWW in safe mode.
Later I removed completely and re-acquired all sound drivers.
I ran system file checker and some dlls were repaired.
I also tried the 32 bit version of LMMS.
The 0xc000007b error persisted through all of this.
Replacing the libportaudio-2.dll with the Bitwig portaudio-x64.dll fixed both immediately.
Hope this helps someone else.
