I would like to chime in here as I am facing the same issue. In my case this is a clean Manjaro installation (in which I completely broke the Windows dualboot but that is another problem).
After I installed Manjaro, I also installed Wine and winetricks. Running winecfg from the command line results in the same you posted.
wine: created the configuration directory '/home/user/.wine'
002c:err:seh:NtRaiseException Unhandled exception code c0000005 flags 0 addr 0x6fffffc0daff
wine: could not load kernel32.dll, status c0000135
I have tried different prefixes but to no avail. The only thing that triggered me in this post is that you said you have an old CPU. That is the same in my case although it was running Windows 10 Home just fine.
Here is the output of inxi.

Is Wine not usable on this system perhaps?
