Hello.
Ok so have you tried uininstalling the Visual C++ 2013 Redistributable package (both x86 and x64 version), restart your computer and install the package again? (do not use the Repair function).
Or run a Windows System File Check tool to repair corrupted system files?
Also does this only occur in Arma? Other games work fine?

I have not tested other games but I will reinstall Visual C++ first and see if that will fix it.

Reinstalling Visual C++ does not work but I found the solution.
Apparently, when I restarted my computer Overwolf automatically started up and for some reason, my Arma crashes when overwolf is running. This might be because I run Arma in Fullscreen borderless but I don't know. I still think this is an issue that should be worked out.

If Overwolf causes the crashes then it might be good to contact the devs of the app. Arma 3 is always changing so it might be that something changed that the Overwolf app uses.

I have. I'm hoping they will figure it out but I've heard that overwolf just causes a lot of problems in the first place.
