Hello, I have been trying to get help with this for a while now. I woke up this morning to this error: failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect. I have tried to repair my system with many google methods, but the one I came across that everyone talks about is Microsoft Visual C++. I cannot repiar or uninstall it see errors below. User's image

I get this error when trying to repair or even uninstall User's image

I get this error when I download anything at all. So I cannot reinstall the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable. My question is since I cannot do anything do I need to uninstall my OS and completely reinstall it? Thank you

    Hello Thank you for your question and reaching out. Corrupt system files or corrupt Visual C++ redistributable packages are two potential causes of this problem. I advise you to use the techniques listed below: Method 1: Please download and install Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 Redistributable Package from below given link and check if it helps: Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2013 http://www.microsoft.com/en-in/download/details.aspx?id=40784 Method 2: I advise running System file checker. To determine whether any corrupted system files may be the root of this problem, a System File Checker (SFC) scan is performed. Please follow the instructions below: Run sfc /scannow from elevated prompt. Run below DISM commands from elevated prompt.
