A few days ago, I noticed I couldn't run some applications because of .NET Framework 3.5 not being installed on my system.
I downloaded the installer from https://www.microsoft.com/en-US/download/details.aspx?id=21 but when I tried to run the installer,
It said this:
I tried pressing 'Tell me how to solve the problem' but the error wasn't present there. I also tried to find information of the error code using slui.exe but it said it could not find any information from it. Optional features also doesn't work because it doesn't list a single feature:
mscoree.dll is also missing which means I can't run applications like PowerShell or any files that requires mscoree.dll.
Windows Update and Windows Update troubleshooter also doesn't work.
'SFC /scannow' and 'DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth' doesn't change anything either.
What can I do to fix those errors?

Thank you for updating me with that information. Please try to download and run the .NET Framework Repair Tool.

It did not work sadly.
If most methods fail, you may need to consider performing a Reset this PC with Keep my files option or Remove everything.

Actually! The .NET Framework repair fixed the Windows Update, and Windows Update fixed all of the errors! Thanks a lot.
