ODBC Data Source Administrator Error Operating System is not configured to run this application

I have been using the ODBC Data Source Administrator tool for several years now. Today it stopped working and gives an Error with the message: "The Operating System is not currently configured to run this application". Attached is the screen shot. I have rebooted several times, tried an Office 365 repair and had no success. My colleague has had the same problem appear on his computer today as well. We have both been using this application to link MS-Visio to different MS-Access databases. We need this tool to switch databases for our different projects.

We re both running Windows 10 and have just recently installed the latest updates.

Do you know how we can correct this and get the ODBC Data Source Administrator tool working again?

Thanks, Jamie

Just downloaded and installed the Microsoft Access Database Engine 2020 https://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/download/details.aspx?id=13255 and this corrected the problem for both of us.

Have no idea why this worked as more than the Access configuration was locked out. But it fixed all of our problems.

One correction - that tis the MS Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable https://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/download/details.aspx?id=13255 not 2020. Sorry for any confusion
