When you try to run a game or software on Windows and receive the error notice "The application was unable to start correctly," there's almost certainly a problem with your computer or laptop. The majority of the techniques listed below are easy and can be used to attempt and resolve the 0xc000007b problem. In some instances, a mix of them will be necessary to solve the problem; in others, you may only need to employ one. Do not be alarmed if you occasionally get this issue when using 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows and programs together. Let's start addressing problems:
Restarting your computer
Sorry to sound like The IT Crowd, but rebooting Windows should be your first line of defense. It sounds too easy, yet it can occasionally work.
Upgrade the.NET foundation
The Microsoft.NET framework is typically to blame for the problems. The most recent.NET Framework version is available for download from Microsoft. Reboot after installation (or reinstallation), then retry the app or game.
Activate Administrator rights
Run the game or program while logged in as an administrator. To achieve that, simply perform right-click on the shortcut or game executable, choose Properties, and then pick the Compatibility tab. Check the option that says "Run this program as an administrator," then click OK.
Reinstalling the game or software
The easiest, quickest, and most efficient approach to fixing the error is to uninstall and reinstall the game or software you're trying to run.
Upgrade Windows
Reinstall Windows. Windows frequently updates itself, but you may double-check by going to the Control Panel and looking for "Windows Update." You can use the Settings app in subsequent releases, such as Windows 10 and 11. (Simply search for it in the Start menu or click the cog icon in the bottom-left corner of the screen, which appears just above the Windows logo). You should see a button to check for updates after selecting Update & Security in the Settings app.
Run ChkDsk
Open cmd by searching for it or pressing Win+R to launch "chkdsk" (or "check disk"). Type "chkdsk c:/f/r" into the window. If so, you will be prompted to schedule it for the subsequent boot if it is the main Windows disk. A check will be run before reaching the login screen after a restart. If the app that is giving you trouble is installed on partitions or other devices, check them.
Install DirectX again
If a game won't load, this may be the solution. The best thing to do will depend on the version of Windows you have and the version of DirectX you need.
