Windows 10: Error Code 0xc0000005 When Launching Microsoft Edge

Hello, I'm encountering Error Code 0xc0000005 whenever I try to launch Microsoft Edge on my Windows 11 PC. This error started happening after a recent update, and I've tried various troubleshooting steps like reinstalling Edge and running the Windows Store Apps troubleshooter, but nothing seems to work. Can someone please provide guidance on how to resolve this error and launch Edge successfully?

Error code 0xc0000005

Hi Samuel,

If running your antivirus software to scan for malicious programs does not help, I suggest disabling Data Execution Prevention. It's a built-in feature on Windows for protecting your computer. Some programs may not be compatible with this feature and opening
the app or game will cause 0xc0000005 error.

To disable it, log in using an admin account and follow these steps:

1. Press Windows key + R, type sysdm.cpl and press
   Enter.
2. Click the Advanced tab > Settings button.
3. Click the Data Execution Prevention tab.
4. Select Turn on DEP for all programs and services except those I select.
   
5. Click Add and open the problematic executable file/game.
6. Click OK.

Let me know how it turns out.
