Hey there! @KEYUR1995,
Were there any recent windows update on the PC?
Causes of this Error
This error may happen due to system file corruption or Visual C++ redistributable package corruption. I suggest you follow the below-given methods:
Method 1:
Kindly download and install Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 Redistributable Package from below given link and check if it helps:
Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2013
http://www.microsoft.com/en-in/download/details.aspx?id=40784
Method 2:
- Press Windows key + X, select Command prompt (Admin) to bring up elevated Command prompt.
- In Command prompt type sfc/scannow and press enter.
- Restart the computer.
If no corrupted system files were found in the previous state, then I suggest you to try the following steps:
- Open command prompt by pressing Windows key + X and selecting “Command prompt admin”.
- In command prompt, type the following commands and press Enter after each command:
DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth
DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth
- Close the command prompt and restart the PC and check if it works.
Lastly, if the issue still persists after trying out the steps, try performing a complete system reset.

I hope you have a great day! 🙂
