api-ms-win-crt-runtime-I1-1-0.dll is part of the Universal CRT; I
don't see what the relation between Python and Notepad++ is.  This
sounds like an issue with Notepad++/NppFTP, not Python.

The point of installing in C:\Program Files\ is that non-admin users
can't write there.  If you want a package installed in the global
site-packages, do it as an administrator or install Python somewhere
else (like C:\Python35\ as previous versions did, but be aware of the
security implications).  Otherwise, create a local venv (`py -3.5 -m
venv path\to\venv`), install your packages there, and use it.

That seems uncalled for.
