Windows 10: Need help with Application error 0xc0000135

My sons PC over the last few days has started to throw up this message when starting to run certain non windows applications.


The PC wont let me remove or reinstall the software. It wont let me install any new software at all. Wont let me reset, re-install or wipe the system. I've followed all the online forums regarding boot but to no-avail.


All i want to do is try and completely reformat the PC and start from new. I don't have a hard copy of windows to create a bootable drive i think thats right


Any help would be greatly received.


Thanks

0xc0000135 error when opening most applications

This problem started about 1 week or 2 ago; I have a Dell XPS 13 9460 computer running Windows 10.

Whenever I try opening many applications, including Steam, NordVPN, Microsoft Word, Spotify and more, I get this error, "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000135)".

I have tried doing a clean boot, but it doesn't work and I have tried doing system restores but they say they were unsuccessful.

Does anyone have any other suggestions?

they didn't work for me.
