When I try to launch this game, I get a popup that says, "The following component(s) are required to run this program: Microsoft Visual C ++ Runtime.". My computer is fully updated, and I tried a clean boot, but the popup still happened. I've refreshed my computer for updates but haven't found anything relating to the error.

May I know which game you are trying to play?
The Visual C++ runtimes (all versions) are listed on the following Microsoft page.
See if installing the Visual C++ 2015, 2017, 2019, and 2022 redistributables helps.

Note:
Download and install both the x86 and x64 versions. Restart Windows and attempt to run the game.
