Failed to open the minecraft launcher

Hey, after applying a shader my minecraft crashed and i had to quit it, when trying to reconnect the launcher wont open, even after trying to restart my computer, waiting a whole night, uninstalling and installing it again, deleting everything minecraft related on my computer and trying to install it back again. None of this has worked, even tried to update my drivers. Launching the legacy launcher does not work either. Basically i have tried everything but to none effect, all that happens is i try to launch and it loads for a few seconds and nothing more. Furthermore, I've tried launching it as an administrator but that does not  work.

yeah,the game told me it couldn't find these files: MSVCP140.dll
VCRUNTIME140.dll
since i'm good in computer science i think you have to import files from another pc
but I don't know where to put them

Are you located in Norway by any chance? See MCL-17664 if so.

I tried some things, and this is what worked for me. Apparently, the MSVCP140.dll sometimes doesn't register correctly, but this should fix that.
