Check your antivirus, it might block them.

Video driver, directx, Net Framework or Visual C++. One of them is usually the issue. Problem is some games want some specific versions like dx9/dx11, Visual C++ 2010 x86/x64, 2012 x86/x64/, 2015 x86/x64. Lots of stuff there - old for old, new for new.
Another thing is to avoid installing/unpacking the games in Program Files. Program Files is protected, less than Windows, but it will limit access to and from your games. The games need independence, preferably on another drive.

In most cases yes direct x, visual c is missing, make sure to get all the visual c packs from internet even earliest ones (2005-2019). And one advice from me: since you mentioned not clearly "unpack the games " what games? Be specific, if you try running some japanese games, you need japanese locale. Installed and runned by it. And dont forget to restart pc after any changes mentioned above and from me, good luck
