Error (0xc000007b) opening ModelSim

I have an Asus ROG Zephyrus Core i 9 running on Windows 11 and am required to use Quartus Prime 18.1 version. When I try to open ModelSim, I get the error: "The application was unable to start correctly (0x000007b)."

Is there anything I can do to fix this issue?

    Have you tried to reinstall Quartus?

    What is the step you took?

    Running the older version with Windows 11 could be the problem.

      I know that is not the issue because I managed to run the same application and version on a Windows 11 Dell laptop core I 9 and it works. There is an extra file or necessary files that my computer does not have.

    That is weird, that is a good machine.

    Have you tried to update Window etc?

    Does the issue still persist?

      Ya, I still have the issue, I even downloaded the 21.1 version but it still does not open. I am surely missing a file on my computer but it does not tell me.

    Is is possible to use Questa instead?

    Questa and Modelsim is same but Questa has better feature.

    Modelsim will be EOL-ed and supported until 21.3 (if im not mistaken, might be wrong here), just saying.
