It would seem that error 0x80040154 is closely linked to Microsoft Security Essentials. More so, it can also be caused by conflicts between your antivirus program and the program you are trying to run. As such, users should try some of the more generic solutions towards fixing error 0x80040154:
Performing a system restore Uninstalling whatever anti-malware software they may have Uninstalling Microsoft Security essentials (which in turn can be done in a variety of ways) Performing a complete system reset Reinstalling from a USB or DVD Recovering their system from a restore partition Turning their Windows Firewall on Turning on their Windows Defender
No precise explanation exists as to why exactly this error is happening right now. Additionaly, it would seem that Gears 5 isn’t the only affected game.
