Some of the apps are not launching properly and giving the error 0xc000007b.

Recently I tried to launch Epic Games Launcher but it gave this error. I have tried reinstalling the application, directx, microsoft visual c++, .net framework but nothing has worked.

I discussed this issue with the Epic games launcher support and provided them with the dependency walker log file to pinpoint the error. They told me that it seemed that there is an issue relating to my operating system and that I should contact Microsoft support.

Please help with the error.

    To go into safe mode I started ms config as an administrator and checked the safemode checkbox in boot options and restarted. It started in safe mode and asked for a password and i dont have any password but a pin code. I put the pin but it doesn't accept it and says incorrect password. So i restarted it to go to normal mode but it is still booting in safe mode and not going back to normal mode. So i am stuck in the safemode sign in screen. Please help what to do?

    Hi AceZebra1880006,

    Got it, thanks. Now, if that's the case, then follow the steps below.

    If that won't work, then complete the steps below.

    1. Reboot your PC to Safe Mode. When login, press the CTRL+SHIFT+ESC keys together >click File menu > click "Run new task" > type cmd & tick the checkbox "Create this task with administrative privileges" > click OK > copy/paste below command one line at a time. Once, done reboot your PC to Normal Mode.

    SFC /scannow

    DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth

    DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

    1. In Normal Mode, kindly re-register the Windows apps by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+ESC keys together >click File menu > click "Run new task" > type Powershell & tick the checkbox "Create this task with administrative privileges" > click OK > copy/paste below command.

    Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach{Add-AppxPackage-DisableDevelopmentModeRegister "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

    1. Once done, open File Explorer & navigate to "C:\Users\YOUR_USERNAME\AppData\Local" were "YOUR_USER" is your computer username, and delete the "TileDataLayer" folder. Reboot your PC & check the issue.

    (Note: If you can't see the "TileDataLayer" folder, you may skip this step.)

    I hope this helps. Let me know how you go. Thank you!

    I have tried these methods but none of them are working. My operating system is updated to latest version and application is also compatible to work on my device. Tried the troubleshooting technique but did not work. Also the apps that did not work on my laptop are working on my friends laptop which also has windows 10. I have reinstalled the application several times but does not work either.
