Ok, this is really a weird scenario. I have installed MSSQL Server 2012 and Visual Studio 2012 in windows 10, fresh installation. Everything was going fine but, suddenly, after a restart, and windows 10 updates, both of them stopped working. I didn't lost time and just factory reset the PC to start over. same scenario. I have managed to view whats going on with procmon.exe and getting a strange "device data error" with clr.dll and mscorrc.dll. Then I realized that this is happening with all apps requesting those dlls. My guess is that something in the updates broke functionality but this seems to me a specific problem. the only message I receive from apps is the common "App stopped working" and nothing else. This is happening with all apps relative to .net but I can't do anything to fix/uninstall .net since it comes as a windows feature. Hope you can help me.

This is a known issue. You have to go into Services and start SQL Server manually.

  • Thanks for your answer, but this is not the case. I can tell because Viual studio is failing to start too. Even windows update Fails with this error code 0x80070643, which correspond to this article https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/976982 but I think this does not apply to windows 10. – Puma Jun 22 '16 at 20:01

Well this is not that weird: I reset the PC and let the windows update install the corresponding KBs, after that I was able to reproduce the issue. Then I can confirm that it is related to an update which I uninstalled from settings->update and security->advanced options->update history->uninstall updates. I removed everything after the fresh windows install. For some reason this update brakes something about .net functionality but after removing that, everything goes back to normal. In addition I disabled windows service related to windows update.
