The Application was Unable to Start Correctly (0xc0000022)

This articles describes how to fix a kwiklook installation that is showing this error message when starting up.

Error:

The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000022).

Problem:

After installing the kwiklook workstation client, either a new installation or an upgrade, when launching kwiklook an error message appears: “The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000022)”.

Cause:

Some files have lost their read/write permissions which is causing kwiklook to not start correctly.

Solution:

Find the files that have lost their read/write permissions and add the permissions for the users.

1. Download Process Manager from Sysinternals.
2. Run Process Manager and setup a filter for the kloader.exe and kwiklook.exe processes.
3. Start kwiklook from the shortcut on the desktop.
4. When the error appears, search the Process Manager log for results that show ACCESS DENIED.
5. Use File Explorer to navigate to these files.
6. Update the file Security Permissions and give Read/Write permissions to All Users.
