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

Hello,

Recently, I am facing the Application Error (00xc0000005) pop-up while installing applications. Especially Epic Games Launcher and Riot Client. I don't know why this is happening. I have faced the same problem in my old Windows 7 (Home Premium) laptop. Also it hasn't fixed.

What I have tried:

1) Reset this PC. (Keep files option)-tried 4 times

2) Reset this PC. (Clean)
3) Tried "sfc/ scannow" command in CMD as admin. Restarted.
4) Tried to reinstall the application (mentioned above). Same issue.
5) Tried Turn of DEP for selected application but these apps won't select.

I also tried this. But nothing works.

Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-10105F CPU @ 3.70GHz 3.70 GHz

Go over Windows 10 using this checklist to make sure the install is set up correctly, optimized for best performance, and any needed repairs get done: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wiki...

If nothing help then Look over this gold standard Clean Install which includes everything that works best in Windows and is better than any amount of money can buy: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wiki...

The reason I suggest this is that no one of millions who have followed exactly this specific install has ever come back with further problems that I've seen. It is a once-in-a-lifetime learning experience that will make you permanently the master of your PC because you will learn everything that works best and how to apply it with your own hands.
