Windows 10: Side-By-Side configuration is incorrect

Hi there. For the past couples of months whenever I try to open an app such as steam or League of Legends on my MSI Laptop with Microsoft 10 OS I am met with an error that says the Side-by-side configuration is incorrect. I understand that this is a pretty common problems and I have searched multiple message boards, websites, and watched youtube videos to try to help me solve the problem. One issue I've run into is that many of these solutions include downloading the latest C++ packages from Microsoft's website, but when I go to do that I am met with the same side-by-side error as before. I tried to update my laptop and even fully reset it but when I try to do that It never updates or resets. Does anybody have a solution to my problem, please if you have any idea on how to fix this I would greatly appreciate it or else I see no other option but to sell the laptop and get a new one which I really don't want to have to do. Thanks.

:)

 

Side by side configuration incorrect


Hi
I'm attempting to install some software (namely sage accounts ) on a fresh install of windows 10 pro.
After installation (which appears to be successful) I receive the "error side by side configuration incorrect " when trying to run the app ..
I have googled the hell out of this and only find threads suggesting deleting all c++ versions and re installing.
Like this guide here :
