Help me resolve this error...

My Android Gradle Plugin version is classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.1.2'

This error comes when we update android studio or gradle update.

You can downgrade your gradle version.

The error you posted says: "Please check if you installed the Windows Universal C Runtime". So I suggest you to update your Windows Universal C Runtime through Windows Update.

You can also download the right version here and install it manually. It helped me.
