Hello, so two days ago I had an error message after updating VS and apparently couldn't repair it so I decided to reinstall it.
Now the visual studio installer crashes and shows these errors:
I uninstalled and reinstalled all .net frameworks/sdks and runtimes but it didn't change anything. I really don't know what to do, everything worked flawlessly before I decided to update 2 days ago..
I join the log files. Any help will be much appreciated!

2022-08-11T20:16:54.963+00:00 The clean boot didn't help so I followed the additional steps to totally remove .net.
I got this error message now:
So I tried to install .net 4.8 but it said that I already have it and a newer version is already installed.
I finally installed the last version, 6.0 successfully (SDK too).Sadly it still says that I need either .net 4 or 2.

2022-08-11T20:27:32.173+00:00 In your Windows Control Panel -> Programs and Features -> Turn Windows features on or off
under the first 2 options -> .NET Framework 3.5 (includes .NET 2.0 and 3.0) and .NET Framework 4.8 Advanced Services, expand the options, are ALL boxes checked?
If not, check them and restart your PC.
If they are, uncheck the 2 under the option for .NET 3.5 and uncheck the boxes for the WCF Services under .NET 4.8
restart your PC
then GO BACK and RECHECK THEM ALL and restart.

2022-08-12T19:13:00.693+00:00 Not all boxes were checked, tried unchecking/rechecking but I got a message saying the referenced assembly is not installed on my system... that's really unfortunate
