Hey there Zeeshan!

My name is Miguel Ángel and I'm an independent advisor, also a Microsoft user just like you! I'll try to help you today with your issue.

Please, do the following:

1. Uninstall ALL Visual C++ packages from the Apps menu in Settings.
2. Restart your device.
3. Go to https://docs.microsoft.com/en-gb/cpp/windows/la... and install both the x86 and x64 version under "Visual Studio 2015, 2017, 2019, and 2022" section.
4. Restart your device when both installations are finished.
5. Try again and see if Visual C++ works properly now.

I'll wait for your reply! Don't worry, everything will be okay :)

Thanks for your reply. I was trying to install version 16.2.4 and was receiving this error. So instead of this, I installed version 16.2.3 and there was no such issue. Now will try to update it to the latest version and see if the same error is popped again.

The shared Visual C++ Redistributable x64 is already installed but still getting the above-mentioned error.
