So I bought a Acer Aspire E5 15 and rarely use it. I probably use it once a week at most and barely I can get it to work.
Problems first arises when I tried to delete some terrible antivirus program called Comodo and Geekbuddy which were installed by a family member. I wanted to use AVG because for years it has worked for me and I couldn't bare the Geekbuddy popping up every 20 minutes. So I go to delete it but the programs list won't open up. Finally after a while I find the apps location to uninstall programs and it uninstalls Geekbuddy but will not uninstall comodo.
For comodo it says allow changed to be done to your computer(when you click on the uninstall button) then nothing happens.
So I try opening up AVG to see if it can find any problems but it won't and just gives me the error 0xc00000e5. I google it up and find that CCleaner may help fix this problem.
I download CCleaner but it won't install.
TLDR: apps won't open because windows 10 error 0xc0000e5
-can't uninstall or install some programs
Can someone please give me advice or point me in the right direction.

It'd probably be easier just to back up your shit and install Windows fresh. Also don't bother with antivirus bullshit, just get a decent adblocker and don't download blackdick.exe
That's what you get for not buying a macbook.

That's what I get for being a poor. Advice appreciated anyways.

not really, if I were to ever buy a laptop, the first thing I would do is do a fresh install. All prebuilt PCs/laptops used a cloned image. None of them are installed manually, and this almost always gives me issues somehow. Whether it be at work when we do the same thing or if I buy a prebuilt. Its just better to do a clean wipe and pick the programs you want. Also, just get bitdefender free or some shit. Don't listen to anons who tell you don't worry about antivirus. Viruses/trojans/worms are not the stereotypical TV-show infections that spam popups and porn ads to your desktop and delete files, a huge number of them are undetectable by the human eye or only noticeable if you pay close attention. Drive-by downloads can happen even with an adblocker. Don't risk it, its like <100mb of RAM for a lightweight antivirus. Might as well just get one and forget its there instead of trusting your all-knowing ability to sense when a trojan has been installed.

The same stuff usually won't get detected by an anti virus either or only after it did it's job. Besides, they tend to add more problems, specially now with forced Windows updates.

Thanks for the advice but I still have no solution to the 0xc00000e5 error.

Just gave you a solution. Clean wipe.

You could try CCleaner.
It has an "uninstall program" feature that might work.

>>17704367
I guess that's an option

CCleaner won't install. I open it up to install and doesn't do anything after I accept it to do changes to my computer. This is happening with multiple programs I'm trying to download
