When launching any applications, an error 0xc000007b appears. I’ve tried a lot of things, but it still doesn’t go away. What should I do?
1
What happened on your PC before this problem started to occur?

The error 0xc000007b is a generic error that does not indicate the underlying cause of the problem, what apps are generating that error and please provide a screenshot of the error.

Click your Start Button, type winver and press Enter.
Please provide a screenshot of the resulting dialog.
Thank you for the screenshot.
That error in Rust and Fortnite usually indicates the C++ Redistributable may have a problem, or the graphics drivers.
Use these two installers to reinstall the x86 and x64bit versions of the C++ Redistributables, then restart (not shut down) your PC.
v86:
Now the error 0x80070666 appears.
Have you now installed both the x86 and x64bit versions of the C++ redistributables and restarted your PC?
I installed these two versions from the website and restarted the computer.
Okay, if you have performed that process and that did not resolve the problem,.
Completely remove the current graphics driver using the widely available free DDU utility, then restart your PC and go to the support page for your PC on the manufacturer's website to download and install their recommended version of the graphics driver.
I did it the way you said, but nothing changed.
If that did not resolve the problem, then really the only option will be to uninstall those games, restart (not shut down) your PC, then download and install the latest available version of the games.
I deleted Fortnite and downloaded it again, but the error still didn’t go away.
