Windows 10: Sea of thieves corrupted or missing files

Hey, I have resettet my computer a week ago, and before that, I had sea of thieves and it worked fine. But now I have downloaded and deleted the game 4 times and it doesn't work. it doesn't open, and when it does it says "There is a missing or corrupt data file that is required for the game to run".

I have done so many things to try and fix it, and the most recent one was to try and make an exception in my "Microsoft virus and threat protection" but I can't find my sea of thieves file anywhere on the StiFinder? Can someone help?

I can post a picture here:
