KB5013943 causes apps like Discord and Teams to crash inexplicably

More problems for Windows users that went ahead and installed the May 2022 security updates from Microsoft.

It seems that KB5013943, which is the mandatory security update, is crashing apps that use .NET framework with the error code: 0xc0000135.

As detailed by affected users, these crashes are common among apps that use .NET Framework and apps like Discord or Microsoft Teams are also affected.

.NET Framework apps affected by another Windows update

It was only days ago when we were talking about yet another Windows security update that was messing with the .NET Framework apps.

Now, we appear to have another compatibility issue between the .NET framework and Windows 11. Of course, users took to social media and forums to report these issues.

People reported issues with ShareX, KeePass, Microsoft Teams, Visual Studio installer, and Discord, which is concerning, to say the least.

Another user posted on the Feedback Hub that he is unable to start the Teams app due to the error message process exited with code 3221225781 (0xc0000135).

What can I do to fix this issue?

1. Open the Start menu and search for Turn Windows features on or off.
2. Disable and enable all .NET frameworks and press the OK button.
3. Reboot your system.

This is the recommended path to take until Microsoft deals with this problem from their end, only to avoid unpleasant experiences.
