Windows 10: W10 Home 1903 - Can't Install Visual Studio - How Can I Troubleshoot?

I'm on Windows 10 Home 1903. I've never had any issues installing programs before, but I can't get the Visual Studio Installer to work. I've tried multiple versions like 2017 and 2019, but none of them work. I go to run the installer, I hit yes to allow changes, and then it runs the bootstrapper from my Temp folder then exits.

I've tried downloading the installer again, disabling windows firewall, running as administrator, fixing registry issues, and deleting the Visual Studio folder then restarting and running the installer again. Can't seem to get the installer to work.

What other troubleshooting steps can I take? I need Visual Studio for a school course and am really confused about why it won't install. Any advice is greatly appreciated! Thanks.

Visual Studio (.NET Framework)

Do you still have the Visual Studio Installer or Visual Studio Manager still installed?

If you have it still installed and it opens up correctly, you could try removing all additional packages that are installed, and try reinstalling them again. It could have been a corruption issue relating to package extensions that you may have installed
into Visual Studio 2017 Community Edition. If that does not work, go to apps in settings, and select Visual Studio 2017 Community Edition and select repair. If that does not work, you could try going to TechNet, and asking there for help. It could be a
bug with the current version of the .NET Framework 48 or with the recent version of Visual Studio 2017 Community Edition.

If you can not find Visual Studio Installer or Visual Studio Manager, unfortunately in this situation the only thing I can think of is if you still have the installation file that you downloaded from the Visual Studio website. If you can't find that, then
I suggest that you download Visual Studio 2019 Community Edition, since the 2017 Community edition is not given for free anymore unless you have some sort of subscription. However, I suggest that you still check with TechNet before taking this step.
