Windows 10: Bad Image Error on CONCRT140.dll

I've been trying to open some of my Adobe Creative Cloud Apps Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects but I keep getting a Bad Image Error whenever I do. The error itself however says that it is CONCRT140.dll that's acting up. After looking for answers online, I tried reinstalling the programs, doing an sfc scan, a malware scan, and a system restore though it only gave me the option to go back to the last major update, but to no avail.

Bad Image Errors - dll files changing to 0 bytes

Hi
Have an unusual problem (to me anyway)

Last week I got "Bad Image" errors with Adobe Lightroom (the program had worked OK previously). Two .dll files were listed as corrupt and in Explorer both were shown has having 0 bytes size. Re-installation resolved the problem.
Today I have had the same "bad image" error with another program. Techsmith SnagIt. Once again it was .dll files and they show in explorer as 0 bytes. The timestamp on the 0 byte dlls is the time of the error i.e. today (not when the files were installed).

What I've done so far :
Ran McAfee viruscan across all disks - no problems reported.
Ran Malwarebytes - no problems reported

Went to the properties for the disk drive and under "Tools" ran error check - nothing found
The disk is an SSD so I went to Samsung Magician which shows drive condition as good and S.M.A.R.T. shows wear levelling count at Current Value 99. I do not use Rapid Mode.

The problems are happening on a Samsung 850 Evo 500GB

Any suggestions welcome

Dave
