126Fix WINWORD.EXE Application Error 0xc0000142 The Application was Unable to Start Correctly.
WINWORD.EXE is the MS Word process listed on Task Manager. Other Microsoft software, especially MS Office applications, also rely on the WINWORD.EXE process.
Sometimes, when we try to start an Office application (such as Word, Excel, Outlook, etc.), we could see "Updating Office, please wait a moment." After a few minutes, it will display "WINWORD.EXE - Application Error. The application failed to start correctly (0xc0000142). Click OK to close the application."
For example, WINWORD.EXE will run with the Outlook software when you’ve configured Word as Outlook’s default email editor.
