Windows 10: .NET Framework 3.5 includes .NET 2.0 and 3.0 Error code: 0x80070057

I don't know when this happened. It was roughly a month ago when I tried downloading and playing Hotline Miami off of steam. For whatever reason, it will not install the framework and I can't play several of my games because of it. I've tried some troubleshooting methods but non of them have worked so far. I'm stuck.

fix Error code 0x80070057, net framework v3.5

My new computer is Windows 11 home, v22H2, x64-based processor

Hi, I went to load NavDesk_v7_50_0112_SP.exe to my new computer and I was told I needed “Microsoft .Net Framework version 3.5”



When I tried to install it I was told that it couldn't be installed, "The parameter is incorrect" and “error code: 0x80070057”.

1. I tried returning to the very first System Restore point, but that did not work.
   
2. I have tried Windows Club FixWin11 -System fixes – Windows update error: 0x800070057
   

Steps 1 & 2 read “0” as shown.

With step 3. Rename "%SystemRoot%\SoftwareDistribution" to "SoftwareDistribution.bck"

I cannot find the location to rename.



Any help to fix the error code would be most appreciated.
