Hello friends,

So i've been racking my brain the last few months and i'm hoping you guys might be able to lend me some insight and experienced opinion.

I did a fresh reformat and reinstall of Win7 a few months back and lost the ability to use KONTAKT.
It worked fine before but now I get the "unable to start correctly (0xc000007b)" error code.

This same error code pops up with all 2017-2018 Adobe programs as well ...

Its frustrating the hell out of me ...


The suggested "FIX" is to install AS MANY "Microsoft Visual C++ 20xx Redistributable" packages as possible.
I have 21 different VC packages installed ranging from 2005 up to 2017 ... its crazy. I also have the latest microsoft .NET frame work installed (4.7.1).

And I still get these errors ...


I read somewhere that Win10 has a majority of these VC++ Redist package already installed in the OS.

SO MY QUESTION is ...

Have you upgraded to Win10 and if so has it caused any problems with old plug-ins or fixed any problems? Is it safe and stable for audio production ?

Thanks
