rudolphos · 2025-01-23T22:51:15Z

Checklist

I have used the search function to see if someone else has already submitted the same bug report.
I will describe the problem with as much detail as possible.

App version

3.8.5

Windows version

11 24H2

Steps to reproduce

run simplewall
go into taskbar icons (window doesn't show up)
click on simplewall icon
window opens
wait 30 seconds

Expected behavior

No response

Actual behavior

It crashes shortly after system startup. So I run it manually and then I notice the behavior - 20-30 seconds and the simplewall window closes and program ends abruptly.

I did an in-place upgrade / repair of Windows 11 and simplewall now works properly. Windows security is working and Windows firewall is also working.
I had previously disabled Windows Defender anti-virus (Windows Defender firewall still worked) and without it, for some reason, Simplewall crashed and let through most outgoing and incoming network traffic despite being enabled.

henrypp · 2025-01-24T13:39:34Z

any crash dumps?

rudolphos · 2025-01-24T16:06:19Z

@henrypp

any crash dumps?

It just started happening again after an in-place upgrade. Attached dmp file.

simplewall.exe.1068.dmp

henrypp · 2025-01-24T16:34:39Z

ok, try this:
simplewall.zip

rudolphos · 2025-01-24T19:17:20Z

I replaced the exe, but it keeps crashing again. DMP attached.

simplewall.exe.2360.dmp

henrypp · 2025-01-24T20:39:16Z

sorry, i cant get call stack:
simplewall.zip

rudolphos · 2025-01-25T10:04:38Z

Now when running simplewall, getting this:

2 crash dumps are created on Desktop:

simplewall-1737799371.dmp
simplewall-1737799329.dmp

henrypp · 2025-01-25T10:43:16Z

it is this build?

rudolphos · 2025-01-25T11:53:30Z

Yes. It just immediately gives that "exception raised" error when launching simplewall.

henrypp · 2025-01-25T19:08:38Z

try this, i think now its fixed:

simplewall.zip

rudolphos · 2025-01-25T19:48:55Z

Getting the same error on launch, and crash dump created.

simplewall-1737834567.dmp

With official release I can launch it and it works for a few seconds, but these don't even open the main window..

henrypp · 2025-01-25T20:07:34Z

try this, it will create full dump, i need this information:
simplewall.zip

rudolphos · 2025-01-25T22:17:33Z

Github has a file size limit, so here is dl: https://files.catbox.moe/h7deq3.zip

henrypp · 2025-01-26T06:38:34Z

100% this has no crash:

simplewall.zip

rudolphos · 2025-01-26T12:47:04Z

Seems to be working already for 15 minutes without any issue. Also, restarted PC and it started by itself and didn't crash. Thanks.

henrypp · 2025-01-26T13:55:50Z

i only changed _r_tab_getitemlparam code and now it not crashing.

was:

has become:

some of your thirdparties controls TCM_GETITEM message and returns incorrect status!
it problem on your side, check apps!

rudolphos · 2025-01-26T14:55:22Z

some of your thirdparties controls TCM_GETITEM message and returns incorrect status!
it problem on your side, check apps!

No idea which could that be, but the few apps I constantly have running are:

Windhawk (Classic context menu on Windows 11; Taskbar height and icon size)
Everything Search
Snipaste
Duplicati
Monitorian
f.lux
Teracopy
Nahimic
