Wont Let Me Launch Game

Hello! I haven't played MS in probably 6-7 years, but suddenly had the itch to play. I recently bought a new laptop and downloaded the game, but it won't launch and this error keeps popping up:

MapleStory.exe - Bad Image

C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\VCRUNTIME140.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. Try installing the program again using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the software vendor for support. Error status 0xc000012f.

I've looked everywhere and cannot find a solution that has worked.

This is the laptop I own: Acer Aspire 5 A515-46-R3CZ Slim Laptop | 15.6" Full HD IPS | AMD Ryzen 7 3700U Quad-Core Mobile Processor | 8GB DDR4 | 256GB NVMe SSD | WiFi 6 | Backlit KB | Fingerprint Reader | Windows 11 Home

Any and all help would be appreciated, would love to see how MapleStory has changed and would love to play.

Thank You!
