I was traveling for 2 weeks and now excited to get back to WoW... however Windows had a ton of updates to do which it forced and now is finally done... but every time I try to start WoW there is WoW error and I can't even start the game

I've cleared cache and WTF... anyone have any ideas what might be causing this? Or will I have to totally reinstall?

Hi, the program doesnt even start up. I can't even get the program open, the screen goes black as if the WoW screen will come but it doesn't, instead:

This application has encountered a critical error:

Are you running it as administrator?

Did you try compatibility mode?

Yes I'm running as admin, not sure how to do the compatibility mode...
I read on Blizz when some people had this problem it was a graphics card issue, I am updating my driver atm and will see if that helps...

Update @ 27-08-2016, 14:52:46

Ok got it! It was the graphics card after all. Thanks for trying to help!

That memory access looks very sketchy.
Something might be messing with the game.
Drivers, game overlays, fps\latency "boosters", and such.
If you can supply the full crash log it could be more helpful.
