Dism.exe /online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup

  1. Wait for the process to finish and after that restart your computer.
  2. After restarting your computer head over to this link Latest Visual C++ Redistributable Runtimes All-in-One Feb 2024 Download | TechPowerUp and download the file.

  5. Right-click on the file named “install_all.bat” and click “Run as administrator”.
  6. Now, wait for all the VC Runtimes to install (this process is automated).
