Windows 10: Error side-by-side configuration is incorrect

Hello - My Dell laptop just through an error that "the application failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect". I have Microsoft 365 installed but use Chrome as my web browser. The error occurred when trying to launch Chrome. I believe this is also causing problems with my HP printer not being able to download its software updates. I am a novice troubleshooter, so need clear instructions on how to solve. I read previous responses to a similar question, but they were old. Please help.

Side by side configuration incorrect

Hi
I'm attempting to install some software (namely sage accounts ) on a fresh install of windows 10 pro.
After installation (which appears to be successful) I receive the "error side by side configuration incorrect " when trying to run the app ..
I have googled the hell out of this and only find threads suggesting deleting all c++ versions and re installing.
Like this guide here :
