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

    Hi my laptop looked like it had reformatted itself when I switched on the other day. Out of no where all my settings had changed and documents appeared gone. Having located the files and done a system restore this error code now shows for everything. Can't open a thing. Searched for that security update code to attempt this trouble shoot but its not there -please help?!!

    You are trying to remove the wrong update. KB2859537 will be there in the Windows section

     

    1. Disconnect from the internet  
    2. Open Control Panel
    3. Open Program & Features
    4. Click "View installed updates" on the left-hand side
    5. Find "Security update for Microsoft Windows (KB2859537)" under the Microsoft Windows section
    6. Uninstall that update and restart you PC (may take a very-VERY long time to configure)
    7. Go to Windows Updates and hide  (KB2859537)
    8. Reconnect to the internet
    9. Fix your System Restore feature; You might have to remove a fake C: drive and enable System Restore on the correct Windows drive.

    The above is only a temporary fix.

    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

    I know, but this happened exactly after the patching. My PC crashed with blue screen and outlook stopped working. Rest of office is available.

    I will test office repair as well.

    Got the same problem on my Windows 7 PC. Outlook is unable to start and shows 0xc0000005 message.

    Did everything said above. Uninstalled KB2859537, fixed system restore, scanned for viruses, removed one, installed the update

     

    Nothing changed, Outlook is still unable to start.

    Any additional hint for me?

    Thanks

    There is 100's of reasons that you can get the 0xc0000005 error, this thread is for people that can't run any 32bit software,  if your problem is just Outlook I would try an Office repair and if that doesn't help I would start your own thread for your problem.
