Solved! Avast! wont launch at startup. 'The application was unable to start correctly. (0xc0000022)'

[jorick9]

Everytime I boot my laptop, I get the error message 'The application was unable to start correctly. (0xc0000022)' related to 'AvastUI.exe' When I run it manually as an administrator it works, but when I set it to launch as an administrator in compatibility options, it doesnt work. How do I fix this? I get the same message for AvLaunch.exe.

I've tried
- Adding AvastUI.exe to Avast exceptions list.
- Reinstalling
- Reinstalling in safe mode
- Enabling directplay in windows features.

Is the account you're using to log in an administrator for your system?

Same thing happened to me once... Go into avast add avastui.exe to the exception list.... And everything works fine after that....

I've added C:\Program Files\AVAST Software\Avast\AvastUI.exe to the exceptions list in Avast. Didn't work 🙁

It could be corrupted system files.
Open Command Prompt as Administrator
Run sfc /scannow

I've tried it. Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations. 🙁 Thanks for your reply though!

DO NOT create any more threads about this issue. That is considered "spamming the forum" and is against the rules of conduct.

Step four of the "Four "R's"

Restart.
Reboot.
Reinstall AVAST..
Reformat.

Are you running any other AV on your system by chance? If so, having two active scanners on at once can create issues. If that's not the case, and you indeed have admin access on your machine, have you tried an Online Repair? A reinstall should, in essence, perform the same function but it's another troubleshooting step you can try (Control Panel -> Programs -> Select Avast and click Change -> Online Repair)

The only other AV im running is Windows Defender, which I have disabled. I've tried running the built-in repair tool, but no succes. Sorry for the late reply.
