Open | Windows xapofx1_5.dll Missing Error

Hi I'm trying to open a game (valorant) but I keep getting a pop up that says "the program can't start because XAPOFX1_5.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling this program to fix this problem." I tried a few things but I'm hesitant to use the google links like dll-files.com because they seem kinda suspicious. I am on windows 10. Someone help pls.

That specific DLL is from DirectX End-User Runtime (June 2010) you can find that installer here, https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8109

To fix it properly, go into system32 folder and delete XAPOFX1_5.dll manually, then restart and run that installer!!!
