Quartus did not start
Hi,
Since the switch to European Summer Time we cannot start Quartus Prime 2025 in Windows 11.
Error Message:
The application could not be started correctly (0xc0000142)
What could be the reason for that?

Same with QuartusPrimePro 24.1, started late last week. Windows Application event log ID 1000, with no useful information. Pop-up Application error 0x142 as noted in the original post.
I've got a full PML log from SysInternals ProcessMonitor of the failed start if it would help.
{edited to correct for ProcessMonitor)
{amended to add: multiple machines under Win11, similar failure without popup on another Win10 machine)

Or just got to 26.1 that came out yesterday.
