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

Thank you so much!

The solution is working fine for me.

But it was different update on step 5 and 6. Just uninstalled two recently installed updates.

Thanks!!!

Hi all,

I am running windows 7 and this is the second time I'm facing this issue in nearly two years and I do remember that your fix (displayed above) helped me big times then...but unfortunately not this time !

Let me briefly explain you: I followed all the steps above till nr.6 but then, after my computer restarted, impossible to find the famous KB2859537 anymore within the windows update and consequently impossible to hide it neither...!

And meanwhile I am still facing the same message "the application was unable to start correctly 0xc0000005..."

I've tried to
- isolate the update through the invite of command,
- to restore the system to a previous point
- to perform a SFC scan
- to clean the registry through CCleaner
...but nothing worked !

Anybody would have any new fix or suggestion on what I could try more ?

Thanks a lot in advance !

Alex
