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

The word is KB2859537 causes 0xc0000005 in systems which are either virus-ridden or cracked with a certain tool which copies ntoskrnl.exe as xNtKrnl.exe.

In both cases the file doesn't get updated while the rest of the kernel does, so everything breaks and WOW64 (the stuff which runs 32 bit programs on 64 bit windows) breaks. Only 64 bit apps work.

Solution: uninstall the update, scan for viruses, remove cracks, install the update.

OK, I think this will fix it.

First of all, if your System Restore is working then just use that to go back to before the recent updates, if it's not working then try this.

 

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.

I see that (KB2859537) is no longer an automatic update.

Great idea, but I cannot even follow your directions! Network is 80% down, as it just shows which PCs are connected to the network; and Control Panel does not work either, so I can't even look at the installed updates, nor I can roll back the wheels of time to the last surely working configuration (i.e. to this morning, just before trying to install PART of the usual landslide of "updates" that Microsoft releases from time to time). BTW, this time is worse than usual, but MS updates ALWAYS give me troubles.  In the best case scenarios, when, soon afterward, I preventivly run those programs, such as Auslogics Boost Speed, that do correct registry errors, each one of those programs finds lots of registry errors that were not there before the, successful, or unsuccessful, updates.  Now, I'm in safe mode, as I booted this way, but this choice didn't help me one iota.  As in the full mode, just DOS command works; I used it to launch IE from there and this is why I'm here writing on this forum; otherwise,... But, when I tried to launch Windoes Update from DOS it didn't work.  My last resort is trying to reboot pressing F8 again and execute a system restore from there.  I'll let you know.  SHAME ON MS!   I always wonder what are they doing there.  They should be amonng  the best computer sceintist in the world, but they don't even check their works before releasing them!!!

Thank you, SteveO1964!

Shame on you, Microsoft! Your QA team sucks!
