1. After the installer loads all the necessary files and displays the start window, press the key combination SHIFT + F10 to start the console.
2. Find out which hard drive partition is the system partition, In other words, contains the folder “Windows”. This is done with the command

   dir e:

   Where “Y:” – is the letter of the assumed partition. If the folder “Windows” Is not in the, we will try other cards.

3. Now get a list of installed updates with the command

   dism /image:e: /get-packages

   Remember that instead of “E:” you must type the letter of the partition of your system. The DISM tool will give us a “leaf” long names and parameters of package updates.

4. Finding the correct update manually will be problematic, therefore run the notepad with the command

   notepad

5. Right click and highlight all lines that start with “Package list”. to “The operation was successful.”. Please note that only what is in the white area will be copied. Watch out: we need all the characters. The copy is made by clicking anywhere on the “Symbol of the system”.. All data must be pasted into notepad.
6. In the notepad, press the key combination CTRL + F, enter update code (list above) and press “Find the following”..
7. Closing the window. “Circumstances”.Select all found package names and copy to clipboard.
8. Go to… “Symbol of the system”. and write a command

   dism /image:e: /remove-package

   Later we add “/” and right click to insert the name. It should be like that:

   dism /image:e: /remove-package /PackageName:Package_for_KB2859537~31bf8906ad456e35~x86~~6.1.1.3

   In your case, additional data (numbers) they can be different, therefore copy them only from your notepad. One more point: the entire command must be written on one line.

9. In the same way, remove all updates from the presented list and restart the PC.

Method 3: restore system files

The purpose of this method is to run console commands to check the integrity and restore certain files in the system folders. To make it work the way we need it, “Command line”. must be run as administrator. This is done as follows:

1. Open the menu “Starts”.then expand the list “All the programs” and go to the folder “Standard”..
2. Right click on “Symbol of the system”. and select the respective item from the context menu.

Commands that are executed one by one:

dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
sfc /scannow

When all operations are completed, restart the computer.

Note that this technique should be used with caution if your Windows is not licensed (compilation) and if you have installed design themes that require replacing system files.

Conclution:

Fixing the 0xc0000005 error can be quite difficult, especially when using pirated builds of “Windows” and decrypted programs. If the given recommendations didn't work, change windows layout and replace software “crackeado” with the analog at no cost.
