Finally got back on the Desktop. Not a major, once I actually looked at the problem.

Try this:

Go to your Control Panel, and open "Programs and Features". Look for "Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 Redistributable" listing, of which there could be both x86 and x64 installed. Right click each one, and select "Change", and then hit Repair. Restart your computer once both have been repaired.

Check for updates again, but that should be the end of the problem. Hope this helps!

People often mistake me for an adult because of my age.

Keep calm, and carry on posting.
