No major updates have been applied to it since 2017. Run Update again and look for a new Windows version to apply - not an update or patch, a whole new version. Apply that, reboot, run Update again, apply everything it finds, reboot - keep doing that until there is nothing to apply.

The latest supported Visual C++ downloads

This article lists the download links for the latest versions of Visual C++. support.microsoft.com And run the x86 and x64 installers there.

I don't see any other reason for your problem in there, so I hope that does it!
