Brand new Windows 10 PC, brand new Adobe Creative Cloud account. Works fine for 1 week than upon booting up today I get this error code 0xc000007b on every Adobe application. Anyone got a fix for this that a layman can understand?

Good morning, everyone,
There's so much discussion about this mistake that I post here,
this may not be the best place.


Error 0xc00000007b when launching after effects CC. 2018
After several unsuccessfully tried solutions, the good one concerns me.


In order:
Win10 and CG drivers updated.
Repair MV C++ redistributable (x64 and x32) 2012-2013 and 2015,
with restart between each repair.
Uninstall and reinstall AE CC.


Surely not the solution for everyone,
…. but for me, it worked.

I don't think this is answered at all. We all seem to have the same unfixable problem with 2015.5.  I have tried everything mentioned here are more with no luck. 

We need a real fix for this.  We are paying for this subscription and it should work without this continuous problem.

For me the solution was to downgrade to Photoshop cc 2015. The 2015.5 version has a bug !!!!

I have had the same problem with PhotoShop CC 2015.5, but not with the new version of Lightroom--it works okay.  I have tried all suggestions with no luck.  This isn't the first time that Adobe has had problems with new releases, and it seems to me that they don't care about the "common users" like me.  If Scott Kelby had the problem, it would be fixed for him!  Are we all going to have to switch to a new photoediting program?

While I now have my new photoshop working after 2hrs of remote adobe help fixing Microsoft sys. files for a steady backup I am using 2 older versions of Photoshop which work error free.  And I am ignoring update notices.

I am getting this error when trying to launch Photoshop only since upgrading to 2015.5. Lightroom works.

Are there instructions on what to do? I'm stumped.
