P: adobe premiere error 0xc0000142

Thank you for the update. We updated to the latest Premiere and no loading errors. We also got the same reports from other Adobe CC apps where the very latest version would not load previously, but now can.

Thank you for the fix and I sure hope all goes well when Windows 25H2 rolls out!

Just to let you guys know.

Today i updated to version 25.6 (Pr 25.6.1) and everything seems to be fine again - no errors so far.

Must have been some bug in 25.5

Don't know wich older versions you already tried. But for now, version 25.0 is working on my system.

Beware though - you may not be able to adjust things that was created in a later version.

Older versions also work fine (on my system at least). But they won't let you open projects created in version 25+

Why Adobe? Had this 0xc0000142 error come up after EVERY update the last couple of months. ONly fix working for me is to uninstall all the Microsoft Visual C++ packages and reinstall it all from fresh download from Microsoft. SOOOO frustrating. Got mine owrking again today and must say the new addition of the Film Impact effects almost made up for the time lost fixing this with Monday deadlines noe looming... 

Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable

Additional update:
now I can't even revert to an older version using CC. it says it installed the older version, but keeps showing that it is at version 25.5 and still have the same problem!

I haven't got into the forum on a while, so just some updates:

After posting this, I reverted to an older version of premiere which worked, but I couldn't use adobe media encoder anymore (even after reverting it to the same version).

Today I updated premiere to the latest version again. and now I have this same error again. so absolutley nothing have changed.

I have tried every option and suggestion I found in this article and in other similar ones but nothing worked for me.

I got mine working with this help:

 Reinstall Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable:

It is a necessary component for many apps. If it’s corrupted, you’ll need to uninstall and reinstall it:

• Open Control Panel (search for it in the Start menu).
• Choose Uninstall a program.
• Find Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable and uninstall it.
• Download the latest version from the Microsoft website.
• Run the downloaded file to install it.

i have the exact same problem to the dot my friend

I got the 0xc0000142 this morning.

Pr, Ae and Me all stopped working.

Yesterday (2025-09-10) everything worked fine.

I noticed premiere was updated to version 25.5 this morning. Wich means, 25.4.1 was working. 

Installed 25.4.1 again and rebooted my system - still doesn't work. Went back to version 24.? and it worked again. (but I could't open my recent projects)

Ended up intalling version 25.0 for all 3 programs (Pr, Ae and Me). Now I am able to finish my projects, but I can't change attributes like color and size for my subtitles in the most recent project 😕😕

Systeminfo when the error occured:

Pr: version 25.5
Ae: version 25.4

Me: version 25.5

Microsoft Windows 10 Pro, Version 10.0.19045 Build 19045

Nvidia driverversion 572.83 (studio driver)

UPDATE - 2025-10-03

Just updated to Win 11 (Version 10.0.26100 Build 26100)
and decided to give the lastest version of Pr, Ae and Me another go.  I still get the error.

Then downloaded latest available Nvidia-driver (581.42) - still no luck.

Went back to version 25.3 for all three programs - error 😞

Back to 25.0 again -  luckily it still works in Win 11 😉

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 ?
