Like the title says when ever I try to launch the game I get the error message Couldn't load launcher core from 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Minecraft Launcher\game\launcher.dll': LoadErrorNotPresent. Everything was just working fine two days before, wasn't able to play yesterday, but when I tried today I was unable to log into my microsoft account because I was getting an error telling me I couldn't log in. So I uninstalled everything and tried downloading the new launcher version that just came out. After that is when I started getting the current error, It's present with both the new launcher version and the old launcher version.
Here is the full Launcher Log text.

You have selected the version "1.6.93 (legacy)" as affected version for your report. Nowadays most users are using the new native launcher.
If the launcher you are using has a big green "PLAY" button for starting the game, then you are using the new launcher. To find out the version you are using, please click on "Settings" in the lower left corner, then open the "About" tab. Right below "Launcher" it shows the version of the launcher.
Please update the affected versions of your report by removing "1.6.93 (legacy)" and choosing the correct version.
In case you are actually using the legacy launcher, consider switching to the new native launcher. It can be downloaded here.
