You mentioned you have a fresh windows install. Please try installing the x86 and x64 Visual C++ redistributables from here https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170. The correct version should be in the table below "Visual Studio 2015, 2017, 2019, and 2022"
