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.

2016-05-25T01:35:26+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?
Your solution is not going to solve every problem and it's either naive or just ignorent to think so. I had no KB2879017 in my update list in fact all of them started with the # 1. In witch case what would you suggest when none of your office programs will load and you are receiving the for-mentioned error message?

2015-09-17T21:36:10+00:00 I agree with AranSelhi. I have Windows 10 and it always pops up with Error Status 0xc000012f. If any of the developers see this please respond. Not only that but my iPhone 3g is in DFU mode needing to connect to iTunes and it won't. If you could help me with this it will be much obliged.
