Windows 10: An error appears when I try to use application with Microsoft Visual C++

This error happens when I try to open a game. Some games let me still play even when it brings up the error however some games do not let me play. This caused me to try and fix it myself so I looked up a video found appwiz.cpl deleted C++ and attempted to reinstall it, however when I attempt to reinstall C++ it gives me the same error. The error says: The feature you are trying to use is on anetwork resource that is unavailable.Click Ok to try again. Or enter an alternate path to afolder containing the installation package'vc_runtimeMinimum_x64.msi' in the box below.
