Event ID 1000 Application Error – Fix/Solutions

This is a very generic error and it doesn’t tell much about what caused it. Some applications may fail with this error when the system is left unstable by another faulty program. Usually, a reboot is recommended when this type of error is showing up. If the error is persistent, then one can start digging further (i.e. update the application that is listed in the event), install latest hot fixes, check for viruses and so on.

In my case, I got this Application Error with the Event ID 1000 for Microsoft Security Client with below error:
