try to upgrade installer

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\Installer\vs_installer.exe"

then (as administrator)

    Restarted my PC in-between steps to clear out idle installation instance. This removed the error I was seeing when trying to run 'choco upgrade -y visualstudio2017-workload-vctools'. Tyvm! – JattCode113 Apr 01 '21 at 15:34

Try opening CMD or PowerShell with "Run as Administrator" and run choco upgrade -y visualstudio2019-workload-vctools.

This resolved my issue.

As other people suggested, running this command solved it... at least for me: choco upgrade -y visualstudio2019-workload-vctools

I'll add one thing and it's that you may need to close and open PowerShell while doing so.
