Hi @Huy756006-1059

Thank you for your question and reaching out.


Entry Point Not Found is an error that indicates that there is a missing or corrupted file within a particular process, which results in the program's inability to launch.

If the missing or damaged component comes from Windows operating system you should be able to fix it using below steps.

  1. Disable any Antivirus program or Windows firewall you may have for temporary purpose and also Do full Antivirus scan for any potentially malware or virus.

  2. Cleanup below Temp folders
    C:\Windows\Temp
    %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Temp

  3. Run Disk Cleanup from Select C:\ Drive from Properties- > General -> Disk Cleanup - >Cleanup system files

  4. Run sfc /scannow

  5. Run below DISM command from elevated prompt.

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

Hope this answers your question :)
Thank you.
