hbeatrice04171 If you use any mods or custom content at all, please remove your Mods folder and try again to play. You don't need to save your progress; this is just for testing.
The errors in your dxdiag point to an issue with one of the VC++ runtimes, but the actual problem is often a broken mod or cc item, so that's the place to start. If removing the Mods folder doesn't help though, you can try reinstalling the runtimes. Open Windows Settings > Apps, scroll down to the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributables, click any version from 2015 or newer, and select Uninstall. Don't touch the older versions. You can download new copies here:

You'll need both the x86 and x64 versions of the 2015-2022 runtimes, but you can skip the ARM version, which is for a different class of device. You also don't need the older versions listed. Restart your computer after installing and before trying to play.
As a separate matter, your C drive is very low on free storage. It's not at a critical level yet but is close, so now is a good time to move some data to D, which also doesn't have a lot of free space but does have enough to accommodate another 20 GB or so.
