This error can also happen if Windows updates are not complete or if system files are damaged. In this article, we will discuss different ways to solve this problem.
1. Check for and Install Windows Updates
Sometimes, system files can become old or incomplete, causing some programs to not work properly. By installing the latest Windows updates, you make sure all important system parts are current. Keeping your system updated not only helps things work again but also improves security and stability, helping to prevent similar issues in the future.
2. Reinstall Visual C++ Redistributable
Reinstalling the Visual C++ Redistributable is needed when important files become broken or outdated. This makes sure that all essential parts are fixed and match what your programs need. By reinstalling, you’re refreshing the system’s support for programs that rely on these files.
3. Run SFC and DISM
SFC looks for and repairs damaged or missing system files to keep Windows running smoothly. DISM fixes more complex issues in the Windows Component Store to prevent update problems. Using both tools helps ensure your system stays stable and updates correctly.
4. Perform a System Restore
If none of the previous solutions work, using System Restore can help. It lets you go back to a time when your system was working well. This can fix problems caused by recent changes, like new software or updates. System Restore changes your system settings and files but doesn’t affect personal data, giving you a clean start that removes conflicts. Learn how to Perform a System Repair here.
