Windows 10: Persistent 0xc0000142 and memory could not be read error

I'm hoping I can find some insight that I have not heard of yet. Out of the blue, I recieved this error while running a small steam game and discord saying that my programs were not starting correctly and that referenced memory could not be read. These errors affect any and all programs and prevent me from installing or running anything. Fixes I have tried include sfc scan, dsim scan, reinstall of windows, clean boot, registry edit, registry relisting, memtesta for bad memory, swapping memory, windows updates, checking for conflicting services. I am at a complete loss. If anyone has more insight into this, I would be grateful.

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.

 

Error 0xc0000142.

I purchased a Dell Inspiron laptop that is 2 weeks old. I downloaded Macrium Reflect. When I tried to download a Rescue disk, I got error message 0xc0000142.
See screenshot.
Is there a reliable fix for this?
Thanks,
