0xC0000142 – Application could not be initialized

The program fails when starting. Corrupted program files or incompatible components are possible causes.

Stop if unsure or if a new warning appears. Save your work before changes and ask IT before changing a work device. Never disclose passwords or recovery keys.

Save your work, restart Windows and test only the affected application.
Check the manufacturer's official website to see if your version of Windows is supported and update or repair the program.
Record the time of failure in the reliability history (Windows + R → perfmon /rel). If there are several affected programs, get specialist help to check the system.

Test after each step and stop when the issue is solved. Checkmarks are not permanently saved.
