The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000142). Click on OK to terminate the application.

After a certain amount of time or reaching a certain point, any attempt to start any and all program will result in the error message above. Even Task Manager won’t start.

The (apparent) solution is given here. An hour before this the problem occurred again even after the steps described were taken several weeks ago.

What’s going on here?
