Windows 10: App start failure assistance needed.

I've been having problems getting After Effects to launch. It keeps giving me the 'Application failed to start correctly 0xc0000142 I've probably put in a combined total of 10 hours between Adobe and Microsoft tech support to include personally exhausting web resources, multiple version attempts, complete windows re-installation, and all the different type of scanning/repairing the OS has to offer. If there's someone who might be able to zero in on what the problem is coming from, that would be fantanstic! and thank you.-----------------Event Viewer-----------------Faulting applicatio
