AutoCAD 2023 won't run/ error 0xc000007b/ dll files not found

[st176084]

(sorry it's a bit long but please bear with me)

So I tried running AutoCAD 2023 after installing it, but I end up getting the error 0xc000007b (Windows 10).

Here's the history of the problem:
1. AutoCAD21 was installed and running smoothly with no mentioned errors

2. While downloading the AutoCAD 2023, I also deleted the temporary files on my computer (it was running slow) + Windows ran some updates

3. After that I started getting the error that a bunch of dll files were not found and that I should uninstall and then reinstall AutoCAD2023

4. I tried that at least 6 times with no success

5. With the command prompt I tried: sfc/scannow & dism/online/cleanup-image/restorehealth & windows tried fixing the C disk with no help

6. I then ended up un-/ reinstalling the program a couple of times again (and yes I deleted everything that has to do with AutoCAD/ Auotdesk on the device. I also used MSfixit tool and Revo uninstaller and wise registry cleaner)

7. This time while installing, the error: Installation Incomplete, Important components are missing. (I then installed Autodesk Appmanager + desktop app) still when opening AutoCAD 2023 the error that dll files are missing kept showing up

8. I uninstalled then reinstalled the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable runtime libraries - again no luck

9. So I copied each missing dll file i got an error for (from system to AutoCAD folder) and (I know not so smart) installed the missing ones from the internet - and you guessed it, it did not help

10. I then followed the steps here: ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kzYbDPxdMbo ) reinstalling MS visual c++ > downloading DirectX from MS > downloading the .NET frameworks > using Dependency walker.exe and then again copied the missing dll files - but NOPE, still no luck
11. Another error I am getting sometimes is the: Entry point not found ..... C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2023\heidi6.dll.

PLEASE HELP!
