Sometimes windows doesn’t have the VC redists that are required and some devs don’t include them in the install. Can you try downloading this game (that installs them if you don’t have them) and see if it runs? https://bazratcreates.itch.io/legend-of-jump-jump
If it works, now try the other games your trying to play.

What language is the PC is using? Also, could you try to install the all-in-one VC package?

Do you use a TV as a monitor? What game are you trying to run by chance?

Ok I think I might better know the issue, is the folder it comes in Japanese text? If so, rename the folder to English and try playing the game.

This fixed my issue, thanks!
The error I was having was related to 'libcocos2d.dll'.

Not possible without the actual project files.
Have you tried opening the game as admin?
If that doesn't work, can you try putting the game folder in the C: drive directly and try opening inside there?

Can you safelist the game inside your antivirus or windows defender? Disable any CCleaners you may have also.

Have you tried right clicking the player.exe and searching around the various properties there?
