Windows 10: I cannot install, uninstall, or repair Microsoft Visual C++

I have had two experiences at this point where a game I attempted to run have said that the C++ visualizer is required to run them, but every single time I attempt to install or uninstall them, it tells me that there is another installation and it can't be done at the moment, I've tried going straight to my computer's installed apps and using appwiz.cpl to try uninstalling them but it still causes the exact same popup over and over. I've provided images of the error popup and log that it links
