Reinstalling Uplay
Uplay is Ubisoft’s game portal where you can download and manage their games. Since most of these issues are associated with Uplay, you should try reinstalling it. This may fix any missing files and patches. You don’t need to uninstall the existing installation of Uplay for this method.

Reinstalling Adobe Photoshop CC
Since the cause of the error is a damaged library file, it’s best to reinstall the entire application.
Method 3: Fix for Other Applications
Performing a System Restore
You can perform a System Restore and restore your computer to an earlier state it was in before Photoshop failed to start, thereby undoing what caused the application to stop working. However, this method will only work if a system restore point was created before this issue began. If you select an earlier date before you installed Photoshop, it will be removed, which then means you have to reinstall it as described in the second method. Here’s how to perform a system restore on Windows 7 and 8.
Windows 7/8
Windows will restart and begin restoring the computer to the chosen restore point. The entire process may take some time, so wait till it’s done. Check if the error is gone after the restoration is complete.
Reinstalling the Application
Removing the existing application and reinstalling a fresh copy often solves the problem. If you’re mindful of your saved files, you can still perform a fresh installation to overwrite the core files and keep your personal files, unless the installer insists you remove the old copy.
Running an SFC Scan
An SFC scan checks the whole computer for any missing “.dll” files or corrupted drivers. Therefore, in this step, we will be checking to see if there are any corrupted drivers or missing files. For that:
