I am getting error 0\*c000007b while launching Epic Games Launcher. Below are the details of what I have already done based on all the other forums.

Error: The application was unable to start correctly (0\*c000007b). Click ok to close the application.

I have installed the launcher from the official site: [https://www.epicgames.com/fortnite/en-US/download](https://www.epicgames.com/fortnite/en-US/download)  
Have also tried download from multiple other source: [Unreal Tournament](https://www.epicgames.com/unrealtournament/download)

Reinstalled it multiple times

Reinstalled Direct X : I have Version DX12

Reinstalled VS from [https://www.microsoft.com/en-in/download/details.aspx?id=30679](https://www.microsoft.com/en-in/download/details.aspx?id=30679) : I currently have 2012

Replaced multiple .dll files. Removed .dll files and repaired VC

Reinstalled it multiple times

Checked Event Viewer but am not finding any error log under application

Installed DirectX End-User Runtimes (June 2010) from [https://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/download/confirmation.aspx?id=8109](https://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/download/confirmation.aspx?id=8109)

Also tried the dependency walker based on link: [Unreal Engine won't launch Error code (0xc000007b) - Getting Started & Setup - Epic Developer Community Forums](https://answers.unrealengine.com/questions/12975/unreal-engine-wont-launch-error-code-0xc000007b.html)

When I try to run the command depends.exe /c /f:1 /pb /pp:1 /pg:1 /ot:Log.txt “C:\Program Files (x86)\Epic Games\Launcher\Portal\Binaries\Win32\EpicGamesLauncher.exe” nothing happens. I do not get the error as mentioned

I am using ASUS Rog laptop. Nvidea 960m 4gb graphics, i 7 6th gen.

I can share any logs if you can guide me to it.

Please help!

Тема протухла уже давно, сами разрабы не знают как с ней бороться, тут поможет только полная переустановка системы. К сожалению так и пришлось делать мне что бы решить эту проблему.
