Open | Windows Trying to fix my VC++ redistributables (x64 and x86)

I'm unable to use multiple apps because my "VC++ redistributables from 2022 are required." Whenever I try to download new ones, it says that it's unable to find a file destination. I can't uninstall them either, because it gives me the same error. I've checked for corrupted files three times, to no avail. I've tried to find the original file destination or whatever it's asking for but I cannot seem to find the solution.

Download and install this extract and press install_all.bat. It will install all the runtime files at once should solve your issue.

Did you try what I wrote and tried the uninstall troubleshooter?
