Windows 10: Bad Image Error Status 0xc000012f for all applications on system - Nothing found online has...

Hello,I recently updated my system 2024-07 Cumulative Update. Since this update, I am getting Bad Image Error Status 0xc000012f upon opening any application. I have been following different common solutions online saying to use Command Prompt checking and restoring DISM, Visual Studio, checking for new updates, etc. but none have provided me any progress. If there is anyone on here who can help me remove these errors from popping up every time I open any application, that would be great! Currently running Windows 11 23H2.

Bad Image 0xc000012f Error

Hi Matt,

The error code 0xc000012f with the message "Bad Image" appears when the image file that is being used is not in the right format.
We need to do further investigation on your concern. Kindly answer the following questions for clarification:

• Which build of Windows 10 are you using? To know about it, hit
  Start, type Winver and then press
  Enter. You could also press Windows Key + R, type
  Winver into the
  Run dialog and press Enter.
• Have you checked if there's any pending system update that needs to be installed on your computer?
• Can you tell us what troubleshooting steps you have done so far?

Furthermore, we suggest that you perform a
clean boot to your computer to enhance its performance. Clean boot temporarily disables all third party applications as well as all Microsoft non-essential services so only basic drivers will run. This will help us
find any third-party software which could be the cause of this issue.

Looking forward to the requested information and the results of the recommended troubleshooting step.

 

dbgcore.dll Bad Image (0xc000012f) & Application Error (0xc0150002)


I am encountering this problem on Windows 10 Pro

Errors i am seeing:
- i can't run Outlast, Geometry Dash, Assassin's Creed (even i reinstalled them) [separate errors]
- I am seeing less options [Shut Down & Log off, Task Manager] (on Right-Click Context Menu on Start Button)
- *APPNAME*.exe - Bad Image; C:\Windows\System32\dbgcore.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error...
- *APPNAME*.exe - Application Error; The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0150002)

i unlocked the Adminstrator Account and the Right-Click Context Menu on Start Button has complete options, i didn't damage any system files, i think this error came from one thing that i don't know (a virus maybe?), how will i fix this? thanks for any response.

EDIT: i tried sfc /scannow and DaRT, Reset This PC options but nothing worked (Reset freezes at 8% and fails)
