[QUICK TIP] How to handle with error "Application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b) while starting IntelliJ

Nice morning. First coffee. Starting Intellij. Oops.
 "Application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). (...)".
Hmm. Yesterday there was windows update with some protection issues. Hmm.
Quick google search. Many advices, mainly for interrupting games starting. Hmm.

Before you launch system recovery, try to add exception in "Exploit Protecion" function in windows defender for idea64.exe or idea.exe with turned off protection option/options. Run once again IntelliJ.
In my issue it helped.
System recovery also helped. Shortly. Until the next windows update.

Go to:

Windows Defender Security Center  App & browser control  Exploit protection settings  Program settings  Add program to customise  Add by program name -> type program name (idea64.exe)   Override system settings   Turn off setting/ settings  Apply
