Premiere Pro 2026 won't launch - Application Error (0xc0000142)

Hi,

I get the error "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000142)" whenever I try to open Adobe Premiere Pro 2026.

My System Specs:
- CPU: Intel Pentium Gold G5620 @ 4.00GHz
- GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GT 1030 2GB
- Motherboard: ASUS Prime B360M-C
- OS: Windows 10

 (64-bit)

Troubleshooting steps I've already tried:
1. Reinstalled Visual C++ Redistributable packages (AIO).
2. Updated/reinstalled DirectX.
3. Ran as Administrator.

How can I resolve this issue? Is this error related to CPU AVX instruction requirements or driver compatibility?

Thanks in advance.

    Windows 10 is not supported:

    Your graphics card also doesn't meet specs.
