Hello,

After installing Avast 2017 for Windows 10 x64 (one time update and one time new install), all others applications does not start:

The application was unable to start correctly (0xc00000e5)

Others applications like Word, Excel, Adobe Suite, VLC, Chrome, OneDrive, Google Drive… And I was unable to uninstall Avast, I had to restart in Safe Mode to uninstall it.

Once Avast uninstalled, all applications works fine.

Bye :wink:
