Alright when ever I try to open any type of internet browser or an .iso it always gives me that error also when i try to press on different option on the windows firewall it does not do anything. Oh and when i try to run a antivirus it shows the same error.

"(Name of .exe - Application Error)"

The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000005). Click OK to close the application.

This start automatically on start up and i have to press ok like 3-5 times also there's the Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explore 10 for Windows 7 Service Pack 1 for x64-based Systems (KB28627772)  When ever i try to update it it always fail no matter what and i cant download the service pack 2 because of pack 1.

    Where to download and what ' rkill.exe' is? And what to do with it? I tried looking on this thread but did not find any explanation regarding that ;/

    1. Why the fix says 'at your own risk'. Could something bad happen with doing that stuff in the instructions?
    2. I don't have Windows 7 key with me. My Windows were installed by computer technician a few years ago, so I never knew the key.
    3. How to 'Boot to Windows Repair - Command'?
    1. Why the fix says 'at your own risk'. Could something bad happen with doing that stuff in the instructions?  YES, if you did something wrong then Windows wouldn't reboot
    2. I don't have Windows 7 key with me. My Windows were installed by computer technician a few years ago, so I never knew the key. You would need to get one.
    3. How to 'Boot to Windows Repair - Command'? Tap F8 at startup and see if the repair option appears, or:

    To create a system repair disc 

    1. Open Backup and Restore by clicking the Start button , clicking Control Panel, clicking System and Security, and then clicking Backup and Restore.
    2. In the left pane, click Create a system repair disc, and then follow the steps.  If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    So after recent updates, I got this error again. Does anyone know which update is causing the problem now? Last time it was kb:2872339, and before that the one with ''37'' ending.

    TL;DR: For anyone still having trouble, try removing KB2872339 as suggested here, by pressing Win+R, enter command "wusa.exe /uninstall /kb:2872339"

    Just a quick addendum - I appreciated your recommended fix SteveO, but noticed that my Windows Boot Loader was NOT xOsLoad.exe - my bootloader is \Windows\system32\winload.exe

    My problem started on 10/10/2013 - and after trying both your method (which didn't work, as xOsload.exe doesn't exist for me), and trying to remove the problematic KB2859537 everyone referred to, the end solution for me was to remove KB2872339 as suggested here, by pressing Win+R, enter command "wusa.exe /uninstall /kb:2872339"

    It appears it's a combination of more than one update that causes this error.

    Thanks for your original post SteveO - it set me on the right path to get this all sorted.

    okay but i also cant find files like xOsload.exe,  xNtKrnl.exe, oem-drv64.sys in the path c:\windows\system32\ directory  wat does this mean?  may be do i have another path rather than that? if yes what possibly might be?    

    1. In Windows click the menu button and then type CMD in the search box.
    2. When you see CMD appear right click on it an select Run as Administrator.

    3. Type BCDEdit and enter

    1. If your Windows Boot Loader Path is xOsload.exe then you need to remove some files and repair your BCD (see above).
