Even though you tried it with Norton disabled, try the restore points in Safe Mode, but don't forget to check the box to Scan for affected programs first to see what it snags.
You haven't answered why you uninstalled the Redistributable or if that was when the problem started.
ReefstoneMIDI:
I'm pretty sure I got rid of the Redistributable when I updated it or it updated itself or something of the sort, but I'll get it back just to make sure that's not causing additional issues.
The problems started about a week ago. So no, not around the time that the Redistributable was uninstalled.
Boggin:
Well that would take you back to around the time of the Windows Update, but if they were the same as I got then I doubt they would be the cause.
Update history will tell you what was installed.
Have you tried the restore points in Safe Mode ?
ReefstoneMIDI:
Not yet, as it seems my password isn't working (I usually use a PIN, but I thought I knew the password just in case). I will try when I figure out what my password is.
Boggin:
Perhaps this article will help you with that - https://www.howtogeek.com/222262/how-to-reset-your-forgotten-password-in-windows-10/
I don't know what it means by Utility Manager in the article, but from the desktop press CTRL+ALT+DEL and select Task Manager.
Click on File/Run new task > type cmd.exe and check the box to Create this task with admin privileges and press enter, which will open an admin cmd prompt.
