C++ Redistributable (x64) broken after Windows 11 update
Hello there, every update in the past 6 months has included an obsolete or corrupted C++ Redistributable (x64).
This problem has widely reported and documented.
Why is the Windows 11 team not inspecting the updates they push ?

Uninstall the old one and download the latest one from microsoft.
Sometimes, updates might not be properly installed or might be inconsistent, leading to issues like the C++ Redistributable (x64) being broken.
While Microsoft has extensive testing procedures, the diversity of hardware and software environments means some issues slip through. The rapid update cadence can also limit the time for exhaustive testing before deployment.
Download and install the latest c++ redistributable from here:

You’ll need to download it again and restart your computer.
Could you be more precisely? What explicit breaks within C++ Redistibutable?
I'm asking on a simple reason: I also have many C++ Redistributable (x64) installed on dif. machines. One machine is also an Insider-Preview-Canary-Member.
Which means, I get one system-upgrade (mostly Thursday|Friday) every 'freaking' week. Anyway, I never saw such an error. You also mention that the problem is widely reported and documented: Could you send|show us these reports?
