Windows 10: Everytime I try to run a game, I get an error saying C++ driver is missing.

I installed and uninstalled the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable multiple times but it doesn't help.I even tried updating the graphic drivers.And I restarted my PC after every change.The installed C++ redistributable doesn't show up with the icon in the control pannel's program section. So there might be some problem with the installation package itself but I downloaded it from the offical source.Any help regarding this would be hugely appreciated.I have been trying to fix this since yesterday.Thank you.

Hi,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community and being a part of Windows 10.

I understand the inconvenience you are facing in installing the game on your device. Do not worry we will help you with this issue.

Do let us know the following to assist you better with this issue:

• What is the make and model of your device?
• Have you downloaded a fresh copy of the installation file and tried to re-install it when you say: "uninstalling it and reinstalling"?
• Is the game compatible to run on Windows 10 operating system?
• What are the troubleshooting steps you have tried when you say: "i ve run all sorts of tests"?

This issue might have occurred due to corrupted/ missing system files. Try the below troubleshooting steps and check if it helps.

Step 1: I suggest you to run a SFC scan and check if it helps.

System File Checker is a utility in Windows that allows users to scan for corruptions in Windows system files and restore corrupted files.

Follow the below steps:

  Right click on the Start button, click on
  Command Prompt (Admin).

  Type “sfc /scannow” without the quotes and hit
  Enter.
  
•
