Hello,
I have been receiving the following error message since this morning when I try to launch Chrome:
the application failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect. For more information, please check the application event log or use the command-line tool sxstrace.exe

This is not the first time I've had this issue, I've already experienced it with my entire Adobe suite, and I had to reinstall everything. I know that uninstalling and reinstalling Chrome will fix the problem, but if it persists in other more sensitive programs, it could cause me issues. Therefore, I would like to know how to remove it without uninstalling the software or simply how to resolve the problem once and for all on my entire PC.

Thank you!

config>Windows / Firefox 56.0.3/config>

    ok, do this:

    close all your running programs

    start the command prompt as an administrator (right-click)

    in the window that opens, type sfc /scannow and hit ENTER

    WARNING: there is 1 space between sfc and /

    let the computer work (about 20 minutes) and at the end of the scan, check if it found/fixed any system files
