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

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

     

     

    My computer was absolutely fine. I had a 32bit install on a second partition which I was migrating from to a 64bit install on the same hard drive. I went on holiday in Early September and I had no problems.

    Came back off holiday 3 days ago, the computer does a few updates. Then I decided I had migrated enough from one partition to the other. So I set the 64bit partition as active, and reboot. Of course, no BOOTMGR. So I restore the BOOTMGR using Wondershare LiveBoot, and rebuild the MBR using a utility on Hiren's BootCD. Reboot again, and instead of the Windows 7 boot screen I get the old Windows Vista loading bar boot screen. Sign in and that's when I start getting these 0xc0000005 errors. I've followed every instruction on the internet I could find about these errors and the Windows Updates. No good. So when I get home later, I will be doing an upgrade repair, and I might even upgrade to Windows 8 while I'm at it.

    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.

    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.
