Title: avast 17.1.2286
Post by: REDACTED on February 13, 2017, 10:35:10 PM
Hello,
I am running Avast Free AV along with Comodo Firewall on my windows 10 PC.
With the 17.1.2286 Avast version, for some reason, my programs won't run normally and
I get the dreaded "The application failed to start correctly 0xc00000e5" error.
Also, I cannot connect to the Internet!

So I turned off Comodo, and turned off all components of Avast.
That did not help, still can't connect to the internet.

So I downloaded avastclear.exe from avast using a different computer, transferred it to the problem PC via a USB stick, and ran it in safe mode. That did not work, so after waiting a while, I restarted the computer in normal mode, and ran avastclear.exe  It automatically makes you restart in safe mode and I thought that might help. But.. it is still stuck at : "Launching executable file : wsc_proxy.exe /svc /unregister /firewall"

Does it need an internet connection in order to work?
How do I get around this problem?

I don't  really want to get rid of Avast, but version 17.1.2286 seems to have issues that are preventing me from using the computer.

Any ideas?

Same problem here but I don't run comodo. Uninstalled and reinstalled avast multiple times works for a short time then multiple programs fail.

@ChazBolin is your internet connection working?
FYI I posted an entry in this other thread: "The application failed to start correctly 0xc00000e5", I think you might have posted there as well..
