This started when I started to get annoying crashes in Ubisoft's game "The Crew". I contacted support and they told me to "uninstall anything which is related to Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable." And so I did... the next step was to download three different Microsoft Visual C++ versions, which are:
Microsoft Visual C++ 2008
Microsoft Visual C++ 2010
Microsoft Visual C++ 2012

After I did that and restarted my computer, Logitech Gaming Software will not start because of those .dll files. I have tried sfc/ scannow in cmd (I was told it fixes things like this) and it said it fixed the missing or corrupt files, but nothing has changed.

have you tried running repair on LGS?

go to control panel> programs> add/remove programs
highlight LGS and in the top column, click repair

try copy/pasting this into a command prompt with admin rights - it needs to be exact
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth and press enter

then run SFC /scannow in same window and restart PC

There was no option to repair it, so I just uninstalled and reinstalled it and the error is gone. I guess it was just that simple.
