I'm getting this error "this app can't run on your pc" error when trying to install vlc-3.0.20-win32

i've searched for "this app can't run on your pc" but can't find anything on it

i can't seem to add attachments so here is a screenshot of the error https://imgur.com/5n13M4P

Sounds like you tried to install the Windows Store which is not updated anymore, you'd better install the latest 64-bit desktop release which has more features:

i've downloaded the x64 version from the link u gave and i get the same error

Which file have you downloaded ? You need the x64 version, not the ARM one.
