Error Message - -0xc0000142

How do I fix this problem. Every time I try to use Microsoft word and I get an Error Message 0xc0000142

 

Error 0xc0000142

Hi,

Error 0xc0000142 could mean that the software you have downloaded might not be compatible with Windows 10. We suggest that you try running the program in compatibility mode and check if it helps.

Here's how:

• Right-click on the program, and then select Properties.
  
• In the Properties window, go to the Compatibility
  tab.
• Under Compatibility mode, tick the check box for Run this program in compatibility mode for:, and then choose an older version of Windows.

If the issue persists, try reinstalling the program or check the developer for any updates for the software.

Let us know how it turns out.
