Windows 10: This application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect.

When opening a file, the error "This application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect. Please see the application event log or use the command-line sxstrace.exe tool for more detail" comes up.

I tried to download and install the Microsoft Visual C++ 2019 Redistributable Package, and I also tried running sfc/scannow in Command Prompt

as well as DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth and DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth though neither of those methods worked.

Avast Premier will not load and they say that the recent windows 10 update has caused the problem. Windows settings need adjustment and I am 86 years old and need assistance in resetting these. Please make it SIMPLE and step by step.
