Can't launch Modelsim

I am currently on Windows 11 with modelsim version 2020.1. When I try to launch modelsim, I get the error "The application was unable to start correctly(lxc000007b)." I have tried updating my directx and .NET installations, restarting my computer and uninstalling and reinstalling, but I have never been able to launch the software. Does anybody know how to fix this?

    Is this standalone ModelSim or the version included with Quartus? What version of Quartus are you installing? Modelsim has not been included with Quartus for a while (it's Questa now) so you're probably using an old version that isn't compatible with Windows 11.
