Hi @Brex 10 ,

Thank you for sharing the solution here.

Just, summarize and list the steps that shared in the video here:

In short: Uninstall(by using troubleshooter tool) the installed Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable packages and then download and reinstall it/them.

Steps:

1. Uninstall all separately installed Microsoft Visual C++ … Minimum Runtime… packages from Control Panel(right-click > Uninstall).
2. Download and run troubleshooter from here: Fix problems that block programs from being installed or removed > click Uninstalling > select and uninstall all installed Microsoft Visual C++ … Minimum Runtime... packages from the list.
3. Download the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable packages from here: Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable latest supported downloads and install it.

Feel free to let us know, if you get any other issues in the future.

Have a great day.

Sincerely,

Tianyu
