Can't open After Effect on Windows 10 Error 0xc0000142

Explorer ,
Mar 26, 2022 Mar 26, 2022

Hello,

As of today, I have not been able to open AE cc 2022. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling several times and the problem still occurs. I even uninstalled my 3/9/22 Windows update to see if that would fix the problem. No luck. I have the full Adobe Package and all other apps open fine. I even tried opening AE 2022 on my laptop running Win 10 and it works fine. Not sure what else to try. Any ideas?

 

See the error popup below.

 

Thanks - troy

Who ever not able to fix the issue, Download this and run all the vcredists. Worked for me.

This is what worked for me. After you install all the C++ files from above post, go into your after effects support files (for me its C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects 2025\Support Files\) and rename or delete 'MSVCP140.dll', this will cause after effects to reload the dll needed.
