a friend of mine has been struggling recently and he's been encountering a problem. Relayed from his own words;

Hey guys. I'm not really sure where else to go to for help. I've been looking around trying to find a solution, but I can't find one.
Whenever I open the launcher and click on "play", this application error pops up: https://i.gyazo.com/b2a4fc36248c1655...5c3fcf4ec1.png
Does anyone know how to fix it?

These are his system specifications;

He has informed me that he has tried multiple system restores and it temporarily fixes the issue but only leads to the same problem eventually.

If anyone can please help my friend, much would be appreciated.
