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.

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.

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.

AND @Auwris AND @makange

All try downloading and running rkill.exe, it will check to see if your winload.exe has been altered.

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 ;/

Also is there a temporary solution like before (deleting the problems causing update)? Because I really need my computer back to work, this laptop I am using is not suitable for my work....

EDIT

Okay I checked BCD and the load path is xOsload.exe. So I understand that I need to delete some files. But few things makes me worry:
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'?
EDIT #2

Found which update was causing the problem. It was KB2882822. I deleted it and hidden. It fixed the problem. I know that's only temporary solution, but I have no other choice, because of the no Windows 7 key problem.
