0xc000007b

I. What is 0xc000007b, and what is the reason for this problem?

0xc000007b is a relatively common type of error that usually occurs when you are using a 64-bit application on a 32-bit version of Windows; or when using a 32-bit application on a 64-bit version of Windows.
Unlike 64-bit systems, 32-bit systems cannot perform memory-intensive operations. Because the 32-bit system supports up to 4GB of memory, while the 64-bit system can support 4GB to 256GB of memory. This error code occurs when you force an application to run a 64-bit process on a 32-bit system. In addition, when the hard disk itself fails, or the NET framework is not enabled, it may also cause this error.
After understanding the 0xc000007b error and its causes, let’s teach you several simple ways to solve this error.

II. How to solve the problem of error code 0xc000007b when the application cannot be started correctly?

1. Run the application in compatibility mode

Running your application in compatibility mode is an effective solution for many users. When you receive an error message of 0xc000007b, please follow the steps below to run your application in compatibility mode. The specific steps are as follows:
Step 1: Right-click the application program where the error message appears, select the (Properties) option and open it.
select attributes
Step 2: Then switch to the (Compatibility) option, and click the (Run Compatibility Troubleshooting) button, then select the (Try suggested settings) option, just wait patiently. After all commands are executed, re-run the application to see if the problem is resolved.
Select the Try suggested settings option

2. Run the Chkdsk command to check hard disk errors

When an error occurs on the hard disk, the application program cannot be started normally, and an error code appears. You can try to use the Chkdsk command to check and repair the hard disk error. Follow these steps:
Step 1: Run the computer, search (cmd) directly in the search box in the lower left corner, and select (run as administrator) to open the command prompt tool.
run command prompt
Step 2: In the opened command prompt window, enter the command ( chkdsk C: /f /r ) (C: refers to the drive letter of the system disk, you can change the drive letter according to the actual location where the application is installed), and press (Enter) to fix the error. After the hard disk failure is repaired, check whether the application can be started normally.
Enter the disk repair command

3. Enable NET framework

NET Framework may also cause error code 0x000007b to appear. Let’s learn how to enable the NET framework. The specific steps are as follows:
Step 1: Run the computer, enter (control panel) in the search box in the lower left corner and open it. Then find and click (Uninstall a program) under (Programs).
Select Uninstaller
Step 2: Next, click (Enable or Disable Windows Features), and find and check the (.NET Framework3.5 (including .NET 2.0 and 3.0)) and (.NET Framework4.7 Advanced Services) options in the “Windows Features” window. Then click (OK). After the command is executed, restart the computer to check whether the problem is resolved.
