VS 2017 on Windows 10 Downgrading to Mono 5.16 - mono

I am new to mobile app development and ran into an issue with Mono being upgraded with my VS 2017 in windows 10 machine.
Its now upgraded to Mono 5.18 and it would not pair with the Mac. I cannot upgrade the MAC to have 5.18 (I have tried and failed) as the current code would not compile. We are upgrading the versions in our app currently but right now I want to downgrade my windows 10 VS 2017 to have Mono 5.16.
I dont seem to have a clue on where to download 5.16 Mono and install it. I am unsure if I will need to remove MOno 5.18 from my PC.
Any guidance/pointer with this regard will really help.

does changing an operating system solve the .dll file issues?

I tried installing Xammp on my pc (windows 8.1) and it says api-ms-....dll is missing. I have tried every solution I've seen online like upgrading my OS, downloading and installing a new visual studio redistributed 2015 but still not working. please would changing the OS solve this problem?
My question is, does changing the OS from maybe windows 8.1 to windows 7 solve this problem? because I have tried most of the online solutions but still having the same issue
You need to install the following windows update: KB2999226 (Update for Universal C Runtime in Windows)
The missing dll api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll is installed with a Windows update. To resolve this issue, download and install the Update for Universal C Runtime in Windows from Microsoft. (Source)
Sidenote: The details page from Microsoft was last updated in Jan 2017. You probably should install all other updates that have been released since then.

visual studio crash when try to start kernel debugger

I have a project on my studies to write kernel driver. First step of this project is to prepere working environment, so I installed WDK, installed and configured Windows 7 x64 on virtualbox machine and created hello world kernel driver solution from the internet. After that I could deploy and debug my driver in windows 7 client machine directly from visual studio. Everything worked fine. After few days there was an update to windows 10 (host) - november update 1511, I installed that and (sic!) removed ,,previous Windows installations" to get disk space. Unfortunatelly when I opened my project again - I couldn't deploy and debug my driver due to visual studio crash. I can't find workaround for 3 days which is really frustrating beacause I have to show it to my professor on monday.
What I have tried to do:
I completly reinstalled visual studio and WDK (in host and client machine) and it still happens.
After compile, when I click ,,Debugging tools for Windows - Kernel Debugger", visual studio is crashing
(screen)
I can't get previous installation back and now I have no time to reinstall entire system.
Can you help me, please? Is there a way to get it working again?
PS. Excuse me for my english
I solved that.
After I upgraded my OS, I had still installed WDK 10.0.10240, it was not updated to the newer version. Even if I reinstalled it with new wdksetup.exe downloaded from microsoft site, there was still this version. Microsoft did not update their download page. I searched in google "WDK 10.0.10586.11" and I found the direct link to the newest WDK 10.0.10586.0 on tweettunnel.com/vanhoivo.
The link is:
http://download.microsoft.com/download/C/E/1/CE19C726-6036-4443-845B-A652B0F48CD7/wdk/wdksetup.exe
After I installed this wdk version, the problem has solved, VisualStudio is not crashing now and I can deploy and debug my driver. However, I think that is a bug in VisualStudio - it should show an error that WDK version is not appropriate
Thanks

Project not working properly after publishing. VB.NET

I have published a mini project in VB.NET 2010, I'm currently using windows 7. The problem is after i transfer it to windows xp(sp2) and install it some of the buttons are not working. It is working properly when I install it to my laptop with windows 7.
Did you try installing .NET Framework 4 on Windows XP? Also you can try to install older versions like 3.5. After installing your program should work.
Download .NET Framework 4 from Microsoft

But I have already installed windows 8
Kindle suggest me, waiting for your reply.
Thanks.
The download suggests the requirement for Windows 8 (x64) as does the Introducing Windows Phone SDK 8.0 blog.
