Hi all,
Lately, I've been getting a few issues with opening up a few of Adobe's programs through the creative cloud, and I'm wondering if anyone knows how to fix it. I tried uninstalling both the programs' individual and all of the creative cloud, but nothing has changed. It all happened ever since these programs updated: Illustrator, Lightroom, Photoshop Camera Raw, Animate, and one other (I can't remember which one, but I think it was Acrobat DC.) Ever since they were updated, I haven't had any issues with those products, but when I try to open up the other programs within the cloud, nothing pops up, not even an error code. (the programs being: Premiere Pro, After Effects, Audition, there may be others in the same boat, but these were dominant programs I used.) However, when I try to open up a program through my desktop that was made into a shortcut, the error code pops up: 0xc000007b. I looked into it, and I've seen nothing but installers for windows 8 to vista in order to fix the issue, and for windows 10 (which is what I have), it said there shouldn't be any issue regarding this code.
I have been looking in every nook and cranny to find a solution, but I keep on running into dead ends. I used the creative cloudcleanup.exe, reinstalled, uninstalled, tried older versions. I shouldn't have any issues running it because my computer has previously ran the programs (premiere pro, After effects, animate, etc.) with ease. At this point, the only thing I can think of is that adobe needs get some of these programs updated or something because I don't know what else to do.
What do you all think? Any suggestions?

I followed every option provided ideally and tried different ways—audition, Premiere Pro, and After Effects still don't work but everything else does.

For testing purpose , create a new Additional Adminsitrator account and login to same and try to launch and check if issue remains same or the app launch fine over there.

It didn't work on a new admin user, but I did try it on a separate computer (my brothers), and it worked fine.
This was all done on desktops (if that makes a difference).

Perhaps not the answer you're looking for but I ALWAYS launch apps directly from my operating system's Start Menu or desktop icons. You don't really need CC Desktop App except to download/install and update. 90% of the time, my CC Desktop App is closed with Ctrl+W. Out of sight, out of mind.

I had the same issues and the solution is basically to nuke your computer, remove everything and reinstall. Another pain in the ass update by Adobe.
