application exception

0xC0000022 ACCESS_DENIED

The program was denied access to something it needs at startup — usually file permissions or security software blocking it.

What to do about it

Try running the program once as administrator.
Check your antivirus quarantine/exclusions — restores and exclusions fix most of these.
Reinstall the program to reset its file permissions.

Where you will see this

Windows Error Reporting writes this code into Report.wer files and app-crash minidumps when a program dies but Windows itself stays up. It is not a blue-screen stop code — for those see the stop-code library.

See which module threw this exception

Drop the program's .wer report or crash dump into the app-crash reader — the faulting module is usually the real story. Parsed locally.
