Windows 10: Microsoft Visual C++ 2022 X62 Minimum Runtime - 14.36.32532 Error

I have had this error come up occasionally when trying to launch some games. It seems that for certain games I can bypass it and still play but others I cannot and the game will not launch. I have found no fix for this on the internet and ti has been happening for at least 6 months.

:)

Hi Grayson, download the troubleshooter from:

Fix problems that block programs from being installed or removed - Microsoft Support

Note: if downloading it with Edge, you will need to click the 3 dots next to the warning and select Keep.

When you run it, select that you are having trouble uninstalling. Then from the list of programs to uninstall, select Microsoft Visual C++ 2022 X86 Minimum Runtime

When that completes, exit the troubleshooter. Run the trouble shooter again but this time select to uninstall Microsoft Visual C++ 2022 X86 Additional Runtime

When that finishes, you should now be able to install the redistributable without error.
