0xC000007B - Unable to Start SmartSDR Drivers

So I've been trying to get my Flex-6300 to work with my windows machine, now originally I used a mac with a VM to get the machine working, nowdays I have a windows 10 desktop working so I wanted to use that instead.
It turns out that I cant, the driver wont load, no its not a name alias thing, the driver installs and wont start because of the 0xC000007B error code, meaning an invalid image.
Yes I am running Windows 10 64-bit, so for curiosity I compared my older VM image on my mac and found that the drivers since 2.13 till even the new v3 are the same since 2015, more importantly I used sysdepend on both install my new machine is running 1903, vs the older 186X version on the laptop, I found that the drivers had a missing link on the new install thats PROCESSPARAMETERS. This is why I can't load things at all I am at a loss here, re-installing wont do a thing since the error cannot be fixed by re-installing something which has a missing symbol table. It might be possible that somebody knows a work around this, because I am at a loss here.
I have tried 2.53, and the new V3 on my desktop, and since they all have the same driver I can understand why they all fail now.

Just for further information here is the device manager error:
Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)

%hs is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. Try installing the program again using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the software vendor for support. Error status 0x
