When I run the game on my Windows 7 x64 system, I am greeted with the following message:

CellToSingularity.exe - Application Error

The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000005). Click OK to close the application.

OK

I'm having all the OS updates via extended security updates, including the December 2025 ones.
