I had an issue with Premiere not sending the projects to Encoder, then I noticed they both have a new update so unfortunately I updated them.

Since then I am can't start either of them getting the error 0Xc0000142 message. Other adobe applications such as After Effects, Audition and Photoshop are still working fine.

I have tried the following fixes depending on what I found on the internet:

* Uninstall and reinstall the applications.

* Turn off / Unplug my second monitor. (tried with both monitors).

* Made sure windows is up to date.

* Reverted to an older version of windows.

* Disable all windows startup programs.

* Turn off windows defender / enable premiere and adobe CC through it.

My PC is strong enough for the CC applications, and I never had any issue with them while they are running, but I am noticing that everytime there is an update I am facing a new issue right afterwards.

Any idea what I can do? I was working on a project I need to export ASAP!

Bonjour,

Lorsque je clique a droite sur une piste audio et selectionne "Modifier l'élement dans Adobe Audition", j'ai l'erreur : L'application n'a pas réussi à démarrer correctement (0xc0000142). Cliquez sur OK pour fermer l'application."

Quelqu'un a déjà eu ce problème ? comment le résoudre ?

First, are both Premiere and Auditiont the same 'version' ... check the specific numbers in the Help menu "About ... " item.

Second suggestion, reboot the computer, launch Audition, then launch Premiere and try.

Everyone's mileage always varies ...

Hi guys,

Here I'm again to report something happening with me.

After editing for a while (8, 10 10 hours straight) I always get this error and Premiere becomes very slow, freezing a lot and taking a long time to perform tasks.

I have to close Premiere and reopen it to get back to it, but after a while, this error appears again.

I found out that this is an error with Adobe applications but I haven't found an exact solution.

Some say I have to reinstall some packages and others say to reinstall Adobe applications.

I've already reinstalled Premiere but it didn't solve the problem.

Does anyone have any tips on what I can do to solve this problem?

I have this also this error.

Lightroom classic works fine, but not Premiere (25.3) or after effects.

I tried remove AE, Media encoder and Premiere, and re-installed them from cloud desktop. Nothing

I was in hurry when I wrote the post and I think I didn't phrase that line correctly. You can uninstall any widnows update that was done recently, just type "uninstall updates" on the search bar and you can see each update with its date and time.

I ended up reverting to an older version of Premiere and Encoder. This helped me finish my job, but still for some reason Premiere doesn't send projects properly to Encoder so I had to export through Premiere itself.

But yeah, as for the error 0xc0000142, only reverting to older versions of the adobe products helped me with that.

What version of Windows are you using? How did you 'revert'?

Good day Adobe Community,

To avoid this error, we are simply rolling back to the previous versions of Premiere Pro, Media Encoder, After Effects and Audition.

This error occurs when we attempt to load any of these apps of the latest updates through normal means, such as a desktop icon, etc. If we attempt to load these apps via CC hub, nothing happens, not even an error message shows.

Since rolling back fixes everything and there is no mission critical functions that are needed in the latest updates for us, we will simply wait it out before updating again.

Attached is an example of the error message.

Wow, that would be annoying.

I've got the full CC subscription, use a number of the apps on my PC, and haven't had this ... ever. So I'm wondering where to start.

Such as ... did you try holding down shift on launch, and selecting to delete all cache files? Or reset prefs?

Everyone's mileage always varies ...
