the application is unable to start correctly 0xc0000005 after windows update

Anonymous

Sorry my english :)

Hello, today, after windows 7 x64 update itself and reboot most of all my applications cant start and crash with error 0xc0000005.

In "installed updates" I see a lot of Security update for Microsoft .Net Framework Client profile installed today, but I cant Uninstall them, click Uninstall, then I see "Setup.exe *32" in the task manager, then receive an error "An error occurred while trying to uninstall <update name>. It may have already been uninstalled" :(

Also I make a system restore, but without any result :(

Any ideas?

How can I manually remove this updates? Registry cleaning or something else?

You have hacked or infected files on your computer.

Check your BCD and do the below fix if necessary (at your own risk)

In Windows open CMD as Administrator and type BCDEdit and enter, if your Windows Boot Loader Path is xOsload.exe then you need to remove some files and repair your BCD.

NOTE: you will need to re-activate Windows afterwards, so make sure you have your Windows 7 key handy.

Boot to Windows Repair - Command

Del D:\Windows\System32\xOsload.exe

Del D:\Windows\System32\xNtKrnl.exe

Del D:\Windows\System32\Drivers\oem-drv64.sys

attrib c:\boot\bcd -h -r -s

ren c:\boot\bcd bcd.old

bootrec /rebuildbcd

OK, error 0xc000000005 can be caused by many different things, I think most people here had the wrong Windows Boot Loader Path, so Windows couldn't update the file.

There might still be something wrong with your winload.exe file.

Did you first get the error about the 14th August when there was some Windows updates?

When you run BCDedit what is your Windows Boot Loader Path? You must run BCDedit from CMD as administrator.

The path was winload.exe. I did say that I followed the BCDEdit instructions anyway, and it made no difference.

I don't work for MS

Of course not, else you wouldn't be replying on the forums!

I'm also getting the 0xc000000005 errors. The update has been uninstalled, and I have followed the BCDEdit instructions. Nothing. Funnily enough, my computer was a dual boot, and I removed the second partition this morning. Only after doing that and rebuilding MBRs and replacing BOOTMGR has this problem reared its ugly head.

I'm still stuck, currently downloading the Windows 7 ISO to see if it'll repair it. If not, it's a fresh start... AGAIN.

Windows Repair didn't work. It found a problem, supposedly fixed it, but it didn't.

What I have done:

"chkdsk c: /R" - Found errors and fixed them, didn't fix application error.

"sfc /scannow" - Found bad files, but didn't fix them (going to run this off the Install Disk later).

It looks like the errors are something to do with Windows Data Execution Prevention, and even though it is set to OptOut it seems to ignore it.

So my plan for later today is:

Run "sfc /scannow" from the Installation Disk.

Remove every single update installed alongside the problematic KB2859537 update.

If that fails then I'm going to do an in-place upgrade repair: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/3413-repair-install.html

If that fails then I've already partitioned the hard drive ready for a fresh installation. I didn't particularly want to come back off holiday to this!
