@itz_Noel16 Start with a couple of basic checks of your Windows system files. Here's how to run them:
- Hit Windows key-X
- Choose either “PowerShell (Administrator)” or “Command prompt (Administrator),” whichever option is offered
- Inside the window that appears, copy and paste “DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth” without quotes into the window, and enter
- The system will start validating soon. If it throws an error, please list it here
- After it reaches 100%, hit Windows key-X again
- Again, choose “PowerShell (Administrator)” or “Command prompt (Administrator)”
- Inside the window, copy and paste “sfc /scannow” without quotes into the window, and enter
- Post the message you receive here
Please also make sure .NET 3.5 and 4.8 are both installed. Hit Windows key-R and enter "appwiz.cpl" without quotes. In the File Explorer window that opens, click "Turn Windows features on or off," and you'll see this:
Make sure both .NET entries (in the first red box at the top) look like this, minus the fact that 4.7 is now 4.8.
Please also check which VC++ runtimes you have installed. Hit Windows key-i, select Apps, scroll down to the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributables, take a screenshot of the whole list, and attach it to a post.

@Allana93Rose Yes, you do need elevated permissions to run DISM or sfc, which is why you need to choose the PowerShell option with "(Administrator)" in its name.
If that doesn't help, please describe the specific issue you're having.
