Uninstall KB2879017 update.
Cumulative Security Update for IE 10 for Windows 8 x64 systems.
If you can't uninstall, restore to a previous point before the update.
Mark the update as hidden within Windows Update so it doesn't update again.
After update messages Error status 0xc000012f keeps coming up?

Different messages keep popping up on my hp windows 8 laptop after I got the update downloaded onto my computer. Different windows keep coming up all concerning system32\uxtheme.dll for example:
Dropbox.exe - Bad Image
C:\Windows\system32\uxtheme.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. Try installing the program again using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the software vendor for support. Error status 0xc000012f
it isn't just Dropbox.exe but also numerous different products and no matter how many times i press OK on many different programs more and more keep coming up it's never-ending how to i fix this please help.

That's how I found the solution to this problem with the case I had.

2014-10-11T00:47:24+00:00 I have the same problem here! A bunch of programs just stopped working after the last update! This is ridiculous! I need a solution to this error and I need it now!
Did you read my solution? You demand an answer yet it's in this thread. Does this solution work for you?
no it does not work
The problem may be caused by different things.
So far, the pattern has been to look for a recent Windows update to IE.
If not, just uninstall the recent Windows Updates until the problem goes away.
