How to Fix the 0xc00000e5 Error Code on Windows 11/10?

I’m facing the 0xc00000e5 error code on my Windows 11/10 system, which is preventing applications from opening and sometimes causing system instability. I believe this could be due to corrupted system files, malware infection, or missing application data. What methods are effective to resolve this error, and if important files were affected or deleted during troubleshooting, is it possible to recover them using reliable data recovery software?

That error usually comes from corrupted system files, a blocked app, or security software getting a little too aggressive. I’d start by running SFC and DISM, then do a full malware scan and temporarily disable any third party antivirus to see if it’s interfering. Reinstall the apps that won’t open and make sure Windows is fully updated. This issue itself doesn’t normally delete files, but if something important went missing during crashes or cleanup, Stellar Data Recovery can safely scan the drive and recover readable files as long as they haven’t been overwritten.
