Cause
This issue occurs due to svchost.exe crashing during the installation of the Pulse Secure network drivers causing the installation to fail and rollback.

This issue is applicable to only Windows 10 Version 1607 and may occur intermittently.
Solution
Microsoft has confirmed the svchost.exe crashing has been resolved in KB4038782 released on September 12, 2017.
  • Addressed issue where some Windows clients receive a 0xc0000005 ACCESS_VIOLATION error when trying to install drivers.
If the symptoms (in the Problem or Goal field) are a match, please deploy the KB4038782 patch to avoid future issues.
