android studio's window flickering on windows 8.1 pro

Question

I installed android studio version 3.5.2.After opening any project android studio screen is flickering continuously.In event log message is coming like this:

Unable to detect adb version, exit value: 0xc0000135. ADB depends on the Windows Universal C Runtime, which is usually installed by default via Windows Update. You may need to manually fetch and install the runtime package here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-ca/help/2999226/update-for-universal-c-runtime-in-windows

When I go to the website, Update is no longer is available.

Please help. Thanks in advance.

Have you tried to force Windows Update to search for updates? if it's available in somewhere trustable it might find. — Ra.cavalieri, Nov 22 '19 at 18:26

Here is the working link to the official Microsoft Universal C Runtime redistributable package.

But I haven't tried it myself because I'm using Linux.

That works. I already downloaded it. But it doesn't get installed previously. – AkashToSky Nov 24 '19 at 20:53
