Lightroom won't open due to a code execution system error

I have the latest version of Lightroom Classic on my Windows PC. It was working fine last night but today it won’t open. It produced 3 separate error messages saying that the code execution cannot proceed because ahclient.dll (and two other files it also lists) was not found. It says reinstalling the program may fix this problem.

 

Has anyone else has this issue please and why is it happening?

    Posting a screenshot could be helpful. Also, please post the system information found in the help menu as this gives us all the information about your LrC, OS and GPU driver versions.

    I’d try to remove and reinstall LrC - Your data is safe while you do this.
