Windows 10: Following redistributable uninstall, Chrome not launching

In an effort to repair all C++ redistributables, I uninstalled them all. When trying to reinstall up to date versions, I get the error "no action was taken as a system reboot is required". Rebooting does nothing to make this successfully install. This is error code 0x8007015e. Now, I can't open Chrome, with the error "side by side configuration is incorrect... Use command line sxstrace.exe" Help! I am doing all of this to troubleshoot games, but need chrome to work even more urgently for work

:)

Hi,

Since you already uninstalled Google Chrome using the Programs and Features, Google notifications may still be running in the background processes. We suggest that you follow these steps on how to end the Google Chrome process:

• On your keyboard, press Ctrl+Alt+Delete.
• Select Task Manager.
• Under Processes, locate Google Notifications or Google Chrome.
• Right click on them and select End Task.
• Double check under Programs and Features if Google Chrome is completely gone.

Let us know if these steps worked.
