Methods to Fix the 0xc00000e5 Error Code on Windows 11?

Hi everyone,

I’ve been encountering the 0xc00000e5 error code on my Windows 11/10 system, and it’s preventing certain applications from launching properly. The error appears randomly, sometimes during startup and other times when opening specific programs.

I’ve already tried basic steps like restarting the PC, running a virus scan, and updating Windows, but the issue still persists.

Could anyone share effective methods or proven fixes for resolving the 0xc00000e5 error on Windows 11?

One fix that often gets missed is checking for corrupted system files. The 0xc00000e5 error can pop up when core Windows files are damaged even if updates and antivirus look fine. Open Command Prompt as admin and run sfc /scannow and let it finish. If it reports issues it can’t fix, follow it with DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth, then reboot. I’ve seen this resolve random app launch failures and startup errors on Windows 11 more times than I can count, especially after interrupted updates or sudden shutdowns.
