?Crash after editing Start Menu (when running elevated)

[ghisler(Author)]

This should be fixed in beta 4 or newer, please try it!

Oomph, sorry, it's not fixed yet. I tried it as soon as beta4 came out, same problem. The only changes I saw in the Report.wer's for beta 4 were:

Code: Select all

LoadedModule[76]=C:\Windows\SYSTEM32\MrmCoreR.dll
LoadedModule[77]=C:\Windows\SYSTEM32\iertutil.dll
LoadedModule[78]=C:\Windows\System32\urlmon.dll
LoadedModule[79]=C:\Windows\System32\ActXPrxy.dll

I made another crash dump with beta 4, which can be downloaded here.

Crash dump looks like calling a hardcoded breakpoint...

I currently can't launch 64-bit TC to see what is at [rax+118h].

Sorry, in this case I cannot prevent it.

Hurray! I can confirm that this has been fixed in beta 10!

11.08.16 Fixed: Sometimes the start menu or directory menu could get filled with strange characters, or hang when closed (error in MyListbox component, GetTextW) (64)

[ghisler(Author)]

It's a very strange bug: Windows 10 (and only that version!) sends LB_GETTEXT messages to the list of commands, one for every command, when the dialog box is closed. I don't know why it does this, but it looks suspicious to me. Anyway, the list isn't valid any more at this point, so the messages mess up the string allocations, which eventually leads to this hang/crash.

Do you mean "only Windows 10" or "only the specific build of Windows 10" that I happened to be using then? Because I did upgrade to the Redstone 1 before trying TC beta 10. Either way, strange indeed...

[ghisler(Author)]

It seems to happen on both Windows 10 anniversary update and the version before. Maybe it's related to Microsoft's data hunger (pay the free license with data), but that's only speculation.
