Windows 10: Computer Restarts Without Warning: Latest Microsoft Redistributables and Waves Central May...

How do I safely uninstall the latest Microsoft Redistributables without ruining my Windows 7 machine? I even wonder if they're to blame for making Firefox hang and stop responding on that machine. I specifically use this machine with Sonar 8.5 and JAWS 15, and this didn't happen until I attempted to install Waves Central, which automatically started installing some Microsoft Visual C Runtime Redistributables which made the audio stutter, and suddenly when I try Firefox, the Internet connection is extremely sloooooooowwwwwwww! How do I fix this without making the machine unbootable?
