Windows 10: PWgen won't run. Error code: 0xc0000005. Details inside.

Hello *Smile

I'm having some troubles with a program called PWgen. I am unable to run both installed and portable versions.

OS: Windows 10 Pro 64, Fully updated and patched.

Emsisoft Anti Malware + WFC Control (binisoft.org) + HMP.Alert are installed on my machine.

This is what's in the error log

Faulting application name: PWGen.exe, version: 2.9.0.1, time stamp: 0x00000000 Faulting module name: PWGen.exe, version: 2.9.0.1, time stamp: 0x00000000 Exception code: 0xc0000005 Fault offset: 0x00001813 Faulting process ID: 0xc94 Faulting application start time: 0x01d3039aadc96d31 Faulting application path: C:\Program Files (x86)\PWGen\PWGen.exe Faulting module path: C:\Program Files (x86)\PWGen\PWGen.exe Report ID: 0e7796bd-7860-4264-b354-52ea17db8bc6 Faulting package full name: Faulting package-relative application ID:

I've tried sfc/scannow and it found no corruption.. Not sure what is the problem.

Any help?

:)

Hi, the portable version 2.9.0 runs on my fully updated Win 10 (see my specs 'My Computer' for which build I'm using).

Which is your build?
(Windows key + R, winver)

Suggest you try a clean boot and retry; if you are running the Creator's build or an Insider build I suppose there could be some incompatibility.

(Note - there are many duff web-sites which give spurious info if you search for 0xc0000005)

Note that the portable version writes a dat file to where the exe resides.
