Lightburn stopped opening after using it with no issue for 1 month

[Lowell1 (Grant Lowell Crezee)]

Lightburn will not open. I get a window that says "LightBurn.exe has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Please close the program. Clicking on Close the program does not appear to do anything. I have LigfhtBurn v 1.7.03 installed. My PC isbuilt with AMD Ryzen 9 3900X Core Processor, 16.0 GB Ram, 64 bit operating system, x64 based processor. Windows 11 running version 21H2.
Tried reinstalling LightBurn without success to open it. Get the same close program window. Its like it is running in the background but it does not show up running in Task Manager

OK Fixed it.
Procedure as follows:For Windows 11

1. Press Windows + R to launch the Run dialog.

2. Type appwiz.cpl to open the programs and features applet of the Control Panel.

3. Click your Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable and click the Uninstall button. Note that you may carry out these steps on all versions of the redistributable.
   When you click Uninstall click the Fix option. If you dont see the Fix option. I decided not to uninstall.and have to go through the reinstall process.
   One of the Microsofy Visual C++ Redistribution fixes required the computer to be restarted. After restart LighBurn opened again
