Every time I try to run the game, it runs into an error in the application (0xc000007b). Why does this happens?
I've tried everything on YouTube, but nothing works.

What's the "everything in YouTube" you've tried? Why did you add tags for Crusader Kings 2 and 3 and Stellaris? Also: what Windows version are you using (if at all)?– JoachimMar 24 at 11:33

@Joachim i had the same problem with them all but all worked except EU4 , this was trying to replace dlls and add dlls , also to reinstall with antivirus turned off but nothing worked– KobrakixxMar 24 at 11:38

And how did you fix the problem with the other games? I wouldn't go around removing, downloading and (re)placing .dlls at random, though, as that might cause more problems.– JoachimMar 24 at 11:40

A few things you can try:
(Re)installing the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributables.
(Re)install DirectX.
And, as a user on the Paradox forums mentions:
Also try this, please: Add EU4.exe to the exceptions list of your antivirus app; ESPECIALLY if you have Windows Defender, add it to the Ransomware "Apps allowed through list."
Check if you have any pending Windows updates, and install them.
Run SFC.
Run DISM (on Windows 10).
If you want to keep trying replacing or deleting .dll files, you'd better use an app like Dependency Walker, as it lets you know what processes might actually be missing.
