Error 0xc0000005 when using Citrix Receiver on Windows 10 Home

Hi,


It's been a week that I've tried to fix this but I can't find a permanent solution to it.


I have a Lenovo IdeaPad S340-15IIL

Freshly installed Windows 10 Home (1903) came preinstalled.

I installed Citrix Receiver and it worked properly for few days.


Windows was up to date and I kept installing required software on the laptop.

Everything was working fine until I saw this when I opened Citrix after installing all my software.

What I tried :

  • sfc /scannow
  • DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
  • chkdsk C: /f /x /r
  • Uninstalling all Windows Updates
  • Disabled McAfee Antivirus
  • Updated Display Drivers (all were already up to date)
  • Turned DEP OFF
  • Cleaned Registry using CCleaner
  • Rebooted to safe mode, reinstalled Citrix over there
  • Updated Citrix Receiver to the latest version available


After every action, I reinstalled Citrix Receiver and rebooted, nothing worked.

Finally, I did a reset wiping my C drive and reinstalling Windows. This made me go back to square 1 but the problem was fixed.

I started installing my software one by one and found "WinThruster" as the application after which Citrix stopped working and gave the 0xc0000005 error.


I reinstalled Windows. Citrix was working. I skipped WinThruster and went on with other software installations.

Again, Citrix gave out a 0xc0000005 error after I installed about 3-4 software from which I found out that the culprit was my TP-Link Wi-Fi Receiver Driver.


I reinstalled Windows (this time, selecting the Cloud option that's new in v2004). Citrix was working. I skipped WinThruster/TP-Link Driver and went on with other software installations.

Again, Citrix gave out 0xc0000005 error after installing some more software.


This time I had a System Restore Point and I used it to go back to the previous state (fresh Windows, first start). Citrix was working. I skipped all software I was previously installing and went on with my list.

Again, Citrix gives out 0xc0000005 error after installing some software.


Is there a permanent fix for this? Currently, the laptop's running Windows 10 Home (2004), with KB2565063, KB4565627, KB4565503 and KB4566785, i.e., up to date.


I also had Windows 7 SP1 on my other PC, which used to run perfectly, with *all* the same software installed along with Citrix - I never had such problems with it.
