Every time I launch the application, I get the error code 0xc0000142 (Windows 11)

I've searched the internet for solutions and nothing as worked so far. I've restarted my computer (4 or 5 times) reisntalled it 3 times, tried to launch with administrator and nothing has helped. This was installed legittimentally through creative cloud, and honestly a little annoyed I spent money on something that refuses to work. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? I can provide screenshots if needed. I have a fully updated Windows 11, if that helps.

A recent update to Windows 11 has caused a version of the Visual C++ Runtime that AE requires to be removed. It is something we aren't really able to control. You can try downloading https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x64.exe and run that to reinstall the VC Runtime that is needed.
