creating a desktop software program for windows

Software that will allow you to program applications is called an IDE (Integrated Development Environment)

The most extensive and complete of which is Visual Studio and you can download the Community Version for free !!

The free version is complete, with little or no limitations.

With Visual Studio, you can code in many programming languages C. C++ C#, F#, Visual Basic . .. etc.

Which programming language you use or learn depends on what you ultimately want to code, however Visual Studio now contains a framework called Xamarin. So you can program your application for Windows, Android, IOS all in a language of your choosing and Xamarin
will convert it to native code for each device . . .

If you want my opinion (I have been a professional developer for 18 years):

Download Visual Studio Community from
HERE

The language I would suggest is C#

So find a good book on C# programming:

A book I would recommend to anyone starting their coding journey is: deitel & deitel
c# how to program

Take it slow through that book, do all the exercises, projects and tests and at the end you will have a working knowledge of C#

Some advice I will give you:

Coding is something you will either love or hate - you will know very quickly if it is something you want to do

If you do decide it is for you, it is a life long learning process, as the field of computing is constantly changing

It is initially frustrating, but ultimately extremely rewarding . . .

 

Uninstalling in Windows 10

Hi!

That's the answer, re install Microsoft Visual C++. Visual Studio depends on it. Visual Studio will need to be uninstalled before Microsoft Visual C++. How many other programs do you have that depend on Microsoft Visual C++.
