Re: 0xc0000142 Error - Cant start any game

Hi, I have just upgraded to Windows 10 so I am now going to try your solutions and see if it works. *fingers crossed*

Do you have the file locations of where everything would be stored at so I can delete it?

UPDATE: Just followed this YouTube tutorial, as well as deleted everything from hidden files that I knew of. Installing it again and trying this one last time.

    @AsideGaming Did the windows scan find any errors at all? Edit ... sorry no with windows 10 I have done way to much homework on it to allow it to touch my PC's but it should be more or less in the same areas if win10 will allow you access :/

    Reinstall Microsoft C++ For my game PC's I install both x64 and x86 as it does not hurt the PC

    NOTE>>> you need to select the x64 or the x86 file depending on what architecture your computer has. To find this out, Click Start, right click on "Computer" and select "Properties". Under system type is should say "32-Bit Operating System" or "64-bit Operating System". If 32-bit operating system, download the x86 file, and if 64-bit download the x64 file.
