Hello,

I have a client's computer running Windows 7 x64 SP1. EVERYTHING works flawlessly on the machine, except for Patch My PC just won't run. It simply starts and then quits. I just don't understand it as it runs on 99.999% of the computers I run it on without issue.

Steps to reproduce: double-click on patch my pc "Patch my PC has stopped working" error comes up and gone. I've tried it in a different folder, safe boot, etc.

An event 1001 is generated in the event log:

Some antivirus or security software may interfere with Patch My PC's operation. Temporarily disable any security software and see if Patch My PC runs without issues.

Also review the Windows Event Viewer for any additional error messages or clues that might help identify the root cause of the problem.

Indeed, turning off the antivirus sounds like the most effective solution

Do you have antivirus software? Go to settings and temporarily turn it off then try accessing again. Some antivirus software will block third party software.
