@KaderkovaViktori Please run a dxdiag and attach it to a post.

Please also post a screenshot or two of the list of services you see.
The part about trying to install the runtimes from the Sims 4 program files is the same as before—running the installers located here:
Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\The Sims 4\__Installer\vc\vc2019\redist
here

@KaderkovaViktori The screenshot didn't come through. The dxdiag did, but it's missing some info because it crashed while running. Please run a couple of basic checks on your Windows system files:
- 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
Then run a new dxdiag and post the screenshot of the list of services.
- 5 years ago@puzzlezaddict it showed me
Error: 740
Elevated permissions are required to run DISM.
Use an elevated command prompt to complete these tasks.

@KaderkovaViktori The error you listed is what happens when you choose the regular version of PowerShell rather than the administrator one. It's a common mistake and easily fixed by choosing the option with "(administrator)" in the name.
If you'd like to try to troubleshoot this more, let me know.
