I am trying to open Skype for Business on my PC. I have used Skype on this PC since March of this year and have not had any issues before.

When I try and log in today it says it's updating (Office) and then I get the following error message:

 

lync.exe Application Error

The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000142). 

 

I have never even had Microsoft Office on my computer so I'm unsure why it tries updating?

If you can provide me any assistance it would be greatly appreciated.
