launcher doesn't start

so, i didn't open minecraft for about a week, the other day when i tried to open the launcher it started updating, then the update stopped and a pop up appeared saying "Couldn't load launcher core from 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Minecraft Launcher\game\launcher.dll': LoadErrorNotPresent" and then "Unable to start the Minecraft Runtime environment. This is most likely caused by a corruption. Please try to reinstall Minecraft."  I tried to disinstall and reinstall the game, change my DNS, remove the .minecraft folder, installing the launcher into an another  directory and using the other links to download the game, but none of them seemed to work. If someone has a solution, please tell me.

Quick update, i found out that the launcher log says that I have Windows 10 enterprise, even tho I have Windows 10 pro. I don't know if that's the reason it keeps crashing.
