Blender won't launch

I've been trying to fix this problem for about a week now and can't figure out what to do. I got the error "Failed to replace function free in module ucrtbase.dll", went to blender forum for help and was told to open console and change TBB_MALLOC_DISABLE_REPLACEMENT=1, but wasn't given any real explanation on how to open the console.

Sounds like Windows.

To open the console, type 'cmd' into the search field in the windows task bar and launch 'command prompt'.

now type: 'set TBB_MALLOC_DISABLE_REPLACEMENT = 1'

and hit enter.
