Windows 10: Visual C++ Redistributable wants msi file to uninstall

When I try to install any Visual C++ Redistributable on my usual Windows 10 PC, it asks me to browse to an vc_runtimeMinimum_x64.msi file of the older Visual C++ 2015 x64 Minimum Runtime but I don't have it, I don't find it and it needs to be exactly the 14.0.23918 version.

The issue is, a newer redistributable is requires by the software I want to use and I don't know anything about Microsoft's visual redistributables.


It would be nice if anyone could help me, so I don't have to reset Windows.
