Good morning.

I've been unable to find installation files for the following TWO (2) recent versions of Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2022 Redistributable:

Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2022 Redistributable 14.44.35211.0 (x86)

Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2022 Redistributable 14.44.35211.0 (x64)

Although I've found a fairly recent version (14.44.35208.0), I'm having trouble locating the seemingly newer file (14.44.35211.0).

Again, I need both the x86 and x64 versions of this Visual C++ file.

If anyone here is a better sleuth than I am, I'd be most grateful for your help. At your convenience, of course, and thanks very much!

    Christopher, thanks so much for taking the time to help me. I really appreciate it!

    While not wholly clueless when it comes to tech, I have to admit that I'm not familiar with winget upgrades.

    Would running winget allow me to pick and choose the upgrades I want to install? Or does it automatically upgrade any and everything eligible for an upgrade whether I like it or not?

    If possible, I'd prefer to avoid a full-scale, soup-to-nuts Win 10 upgrade, with all the havoc that major upgrades sometimes cause. I've been burned in the past.

    Thanks very much for the Visual C++ download links you posted for me. If I chicken out on winget, I'll download and install the two files manually.

    All the best to you!

    I'm using PowerShell command to update these Redistributable.

    i.e. >winget upgrade --all

    It automatically fetches update files and installs, (which can be found from the URLs below too.)

    Found Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2022 Redistributable (x86) [Microsoft.VCRedist.2015+.x86] Version 14.44.35211.0
