    Error (0xc0000005) after windows update


    Hello everyone,

    Today I saw 14 important updates for Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit I believe I successfully installed them, at least that's what it shows. However, now every time my pc boots I receive error 0xc0000005 for various programs. Furthermore every single .exe file I try to launch or install doesn't work. It either loads indefinitely or I receive error 0xc0000005

    I haven't installed or updated anything this week so I don't know where the problem lies. Writing from my laptop because can't open any internet browser either

    Thank you for attention

    I am having the exact same issues. In fact, I am having it on 2 of my computers. This started happening this morning, after both of my computers spontaneously restarted. I have disabled all non-microsoft programs and the error is gone. The error only occurs with non-microsoft programs (i.e. steam, google chrome, etc).

    Well I get it with all programs here, starting from steam or google chrome to Microsoft office. Only IE 10 somewhat works. By somewhat I mean I get IE is not responding instead of error. Tried to reinstall windows from a CD but it doesn't boot after clicking on setup .exe

    I just tried to do a system restore to before the update but the computer now blue screens even when i try to go into safemode. I am going to try a earlier restore point.

    **Edit**

    I got it to stop blue screening and am still trying a previous restore point. I can confirm the exact issue OP is having, including IE not starting up and being slow.

    Thanks a lot. I used system restore point just before the update and then tried installing updates one by one. Made kb2859537 hidden and installed every update except that one and it works flawlessly now.

    rosefox: make sure you hide the update once you uninstall it because it will re appear in windows update again
    If you do not know how to do this
    Bring Up Windows Updates
    put a check mark in that update and right click
    Left click "Hide"
    It will grey out- that is how you will know it did it

    now you will not see it again until you click on: Restore Hidden Updates
