@WorldofEBB I would uninstall VC++ through the control panel

Those errors are a conflict with either VC++ or Windows and its registry.

Go into Windows updates and make sure there are no updates. Update the following. I would repair Windows and your HDD or SSD whichever you have

I use Win11 and I have seen none of these errors. Those specific errors are due to either a corrupted Windows account, a conflict with another program or Admin privileges.

I've done all of those. No change.

    @WorldofEBB So the next step would be a new Windows account, and see if you get the same errors.

    After that, we would need a DxDiag
