Game not launching 0xc0000142 error pls help

[Pulpetta]

Fresh installed the game and getting 0xc0000142 error. Used to play before but it's not working now for some reason. Tried re-installing EasyAntiCheat files and checking logs from event viewer but didn't find anything related to elder ring. Any ideas?

Pc is on Windows 10

UPDATE: removed input8.dll and winhttp.dll and now it is working

try this:

delete the 'EasyAntiCheat_EOS' folder in C:\Program Files (x86)

then Use Registry Editor to delete all keys and values that had 'EasyAntiCheat_EOS' to do this search up "REGEDIT" in search.
right-click on HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > Find and look up the term EasyAntiCheat_EOS and delete any you can find.

then go into elden ring's game files in the installation folder and navigate to easy anti cheat, and click on the install_easyanticheat_eos_setup

a prompt will pop up and hit enter.

so something else in your system cause the problem, third party antivirus, missing windows updates or damage in windows.
