Error 0xc0000142

Hello, days ago I bought fall guys and I cannot enter, I get an error (0xc0000142)
I tried everything I saw in the interten and it still doesn't work. Can someone help me?

So if I am correct, that is an Untrusted File error.

Depending on the file, there will be different steps that you will want to take. Some files can be safely deleted and reacquired from Windows/Microsoft, while others cannot.

First thing you should do is open Command Prompt as an Admin (Windows Key + Q, " CMD", Right click and run as Admin).

Once the console pops up, type in "sfc /scannow" without quotes. Let it run.
What does this do? This scans the System Files for errors and replaces what it can quickly.

DISM is another command, but that should be run in PowerShell.

Another quick step you can take is make sure that your NVIDIA drivers are up to date. Sometimes the GeForce Experience does not always update right away, so you should open up GeForce Experience and check to see if any drivers need to be installed.

Outside of that, if it truly is a windows problem, the only other steps to take is to reformat the drive (_AFTER BACKING UP ANY DATA YOU WANT_) and reinstalling windows 10.

When I delete the "Certificate" folder from "EasyAntiCheat", if it enters the game, but does not let me play when a folder is missing, my question is: Does that folder have something to do with the error?
I'm using google translator lol

It might be a windows being out of date. Try updating windows

There is no update that is compatible with my pc yet, if I try

Also do NOT DELETE THAT FILE if it says untrusted file. If you are getting that, it's a system file, not a game file

No update? Weird... Is this windows 10? Did you check windows update settings?

yes I did it

[CatAttack009]

So you deleted the system file? That wasn't a great idea. A System file is different than a game file. System file is like part of your pc.

I get: Important security and quality fixes are missing on your device.

It might be because you deleted that system file... To make sure, do you get an untrusted file message when you try to join fall guys? If so, then windows update not working properly is the reason

No, I deleted a file from the game, and I didn't delete it either, I just moved it to the desktop and opened the game, then I put it back where it was and there I get the error, I don't know if that file has something to do with the error

Again, when you try to join fall guys, does it say "untrusted file" *insert file here*?

what comes out: the application could not be started correctly (0xc0000142)
Click OK to close it.
after giving it accept it comes out:
Untrusted system file (c: /Windows/System32/hid.dll)

Okay so now I know the problem. Windows being out of date.
