0xc00007b error on Windows 11

Hello, so I've had this problem for quite some time now, where I can't run certain apps like Battlefield1 and 5, The Witcher 3, Mirror's Edge Catalyst, or atleast these are the ones I know of as of now. The 0xc00007b error keeps on popping up when i start these games. I've tried so many fixes from the internet over multiple hours but nothing seems to work for me, I would really need your help! (Also sorry for spelling mistakes, I'm Hungarian)

These are the fixes I've tried so far and none have worked:

  • Installed latest DirectX End-User Runtime Web
  • Installed and reinstalled every Visual C++ from 2005-2022 both x64 and x86 versions
  • Updated Windows 11
  • Disabled antivirus
  • Tried to run the program as administrator and in compatibility mode
  • Installed latest drivers for my laptop
  • Reinstalled the game
  • Ran chkdsk /f /r, ran sfc /scannow and ran DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
  • Installed .NET Framework 3.5 in the Windows Features box Here's a picture of my system information if it somehow helps:
Windows for home | Windows 11 | Devices and drivers

    Hi Dominik_817，

    Welcome to Microsoft Community.

    I think the steps you've tried so far are correct in terms of DirectX and reinstalling VC++ components. But this is a bit strange, usually 0xc000007b this fix will solve the problem, I think your computer may be missing some files or account profile corrupted. You may want to consider downloading the Windows 11 installation image to overwrite the installation. The overwrite installation will not delete existing files. The steps are as follows:

    Create installation media for Windows: Create installation media for Windows (microsoft.com)

    To create the installation media, here's what you'll need:

    A PC with a reliable internet connection. The download time will vary, depending on your internet connection.

    A USB flash drive, external hard drive, or DVD. A blank USB flash drive or external hard drive with at least 8 GB of space, or a blank DVD (and DVD burner). We recommend using a blank USB or blank DVD because any content on it will be deleted. When burning a DVD from an ISO file, if you're told the disc image file is too large, you'll need to use dual layer (DL) DVD media.

    A product key. Your 25-character product key (not required for digital licenses). For help finding it, go to Find your Windows product key.

    After you've created the installation media, you can reinstall Windows: Recovery options in Windows (microsoft.com)

    Well, a clean install of windows 11 with every app and settings removed fixed my issue.

    Ok, I did as you told me but the error still comes up, so it didn't solve my problems. Maybe I should try a clean install of windows 11? Could it be maybe some other hardware related issue, I wonder?
