    Updates cause side-to-side configuration error


    This problem appears after the Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1511 for x64-based Systems (KB3198586) update.

    After the update, several applications will not run - the error stating "its side-by-side configuration is incorrect" Deleting the update resolves the problem, but I can't seem to block the update.
    Intel Core i7-2600 CPU @ 3.40GHz, 16.0 GB memory, 64-bit operating system

    (Update doesn't seem to affect my Dell XPS 14 laptop)

    How do I fix this issue?

    :)

  3. Error: Side by side configuration

    My computer refuses to run any applications that try to access files saved to it. I instead get the error:

    "The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect." I have tried restoring to a previous state, but I get an error saying that applications are interfering with the process. I have tried downloading the recommended
    Visual C++ update, but I can't run it because it is an application. What do I do?
