I just want to play GTA V. It worked really well and I haven't had any issues with it. But since two days (AFAIK there was no patch involved between running and error times) from one day to another, it doesn't work anymore. I haven't even restarted the PC, I literally did nothing for a couple of hours and now GTA V is mad.
When double-clicking the exe files, I immediatelly get the error that GTAVLauncher.exe has stopped working. I can't see any user interface or anything else related to the programm. I double-click the exe and instantly get this error.
This information is given on the error:

I have tried nearly every fixing guide on the interwebs, but it was worthless effort:
- the fix with disabling my graphics card doesn't work
- deleting the exe files so that they're re-downloading per PlayGTAV.exe
- disabling and deinstalling anti-virus
- compatibility mode + run as administrator
- I even created a local administrator account to launch it
Is there a known fix for this issue?
If you need any more information, please ask for it! I'm glad to provide it.

What does the error tell us?
0xc0000005 is an exception of type (memory) Access Violation, meaning that the game tried to access memory that did not belong to it [1]. This might be a software error (bug) in the game itself, or in one of the libraries it uses [2].
This particular error is probably raised by DEP (Data Execution Prevention):
Note that this (8) is the value of your Exception Information (Ausnahmedaten).
How do we fix this?
Because this is a software error, the usual course of action is to wait until the publisher updates the software. This is the safest course to take, but may take a few days or weeks.
Another option is to exclude this application from DEP. However, because the DEP error is a symptom of the problem, and not itself the problem, there is no guarantee that adding an exception will resolve your problem.
From the Wikipedia:

[2] However, Windows was unable to determine where exactly it went wrong, which is why it took a "Stack Hash".
