Windows 10: the application was unable to start correctly 0xc0000102

Hello, I've ran into this problem with my computer and some applications that are not able to start. I found the post similar to mine , that was made a while ago and was updated I think just yesterday. However hasn't been active for a bit. Anyways, I followed the steps and did a clean boot, plus I also created a new profile to see if that would resolve the issue. And it doesn't seem like it has. I really need some help. If you can.Thanks,TJ

application was unable to start correctly 0xc0000102

"application was unable to start correctly 0xc0000102" this error shows up whenever I try to open an application.

I need to use my applications very urgently.Please help me fix it !

 

mmc.exe - Application Unable to Start (0xc0000102)

When i'm trying to run anything from the MMC or any MSC related apps in my local account (An Administrator), all i get is an error : The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000102)., and if i do try running mmc.exe, all i get is a Blank MMC, and the taskbar name "Console1". But if i do try running it thru an elevated CMD, i can start them fine (Example: compmgmt.msc). I have tried running SFC, DISM, and chkdsk /f /r, but they all do return a "normal" answer (all is fine).

Steps Reproduced:

1. SFC/ SCANNOW: no integrity violations
   
2. DISM: all is good
   
3. chkdsk/f /r - initially what caused the problems in MMC, and other areas of the laptop. I ran a chkdsk command from my laptop when it suddenly caused a bootloop. (Stuck in Preparing Startup Repair)
   
4. regsvr32 msxml.dll/msxml2.dll.msxml3.dll: msxml and msxml2 not found in sys32 folder. only msxml3.
   

Workarounds:
1. Start .msc's from Elevated CMD

Other related Problems Found:

1. Missing MSXML and MSXML2. (but sfc and dism still does not recognize these problems)
   

Is there any fix to these problems? Aside from a full reset (a last resort)?
