sdkmanager not opening

Doing a fresh install on my new windows 10 machine. Downloaded the latest sdkmanager (4.0.10), and it gets flagged by windows defender smartscreen. If I choose 'run anyway', I get the following error: 

sdkmanager.exe - Application Error

The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000279). Click OK to close the application.

    Hello, are there any other solutions to this problem? I tried overriding Windows Defender settings, I installed Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 - still the manager doesn't start. My Windows 10 build is 10.0.19045, the Connect IQ SDK version is 7.2.1

    Managed to figure this out - needed specifically to have Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 installed first, not the 2015-2019. Seems like you can then replace it after set-up with 2015-2019...

    I have now tried resetting my JRE/JDK back to an old version that worked on my old laptop, and have tried running my laptop in safe mode, and neither of these things have solved the problem either - I still get the exact same error. 

    I tried this with windows defender off, and I don't have any other anti-virus etc on the laptop atm.

    As an update - I have received another message saying that the sdkmanager.exe does not have a valid digital signature that verifies its publisher. I can try running anyway, but if I do, it just comes up with the error I originally posted about

    Has there been any update on this? I've tried redownloading a few times and it's the same every time
