0x00005: This is what the error code means

If you see the code 0x0000005 in Windows, then you have encountered an error for which Windows does not yet offer a ready-made solution. However, this does not mean that you need to go directly to a professional, but only that you need to invest a little more time in fixing it.

0x0000005: What does the error mean and what can you do?

The error code occurs in Windows 10 as well as in older versions. You will be confronted with it whenever it involves actions with the operating system, for example, when updating Windows or launching an application. Since the error can be due to operating system corruption as well as malware, you should try several things:

1. First, use a program that detects malware as well as adware on your computer and removes it reliably. After applying the program, try the original action again.
2. Alternatively, you should completely remove the application where the error occurs and then reinstall it.
3. Run a Windows memory diagnostic. It may be that your RAM memory is corrupted or completely inactive. In this case, the only way to fix the problem is to replace the defective memory with a new one.
4. Update your device driver. It may happen that your settings hinder or even prevent an automatic update. In this case, you should update the driver manually.

The final solution

The code 0x0000005 may also have crept in during an update. In this case, you need to reboot your operating system. Before you start, however, you should make a backup of all your files, as this will delete them.
