Its my first time download Premiere Pro. I open it but its pop up a error notice, it said "This application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000142)

My version is v24.6.1

If this is your first time downloading Premiere why version 24.6.1?

Error message is a windows' thing.

Actually idk

Btw how do I fix it 

[Ann Bens]

Is this a legit version of Premiere?

Did you download the Creative Cloud app and install it from there?

If not, uninstall it and download the CC app:
