MM crashes on Alt-Tab since Win 10 Update 1607

Post by bootrecords »

Hey all,

I just updated my Windows 10 yesterday with the 1607 major update and ever since, MM behaves weirdly: When it's open I can't alt-tab to other windows (or use keyboard shortcuts that open other programs, like a web browser) without the MM process terminating instantly and without any message of error.

Since I also changed some Windows settings (although I find it unlikely that they'd affect MM's behaviour), I'm not quite sure if these crashes are due solely to the Windows version update or perhaps only some settings.

Has anyone else run into similar problems since the 1607 Windows-10-update? Or anyone got ideas as to what kind of Windows setting might result in such behaviour?

Have you done a PC restart since?

Yes, several, actually. I've also re-installed MM, restarted, and when it still crashed, I installed the debug version instead and sent some crash reports with it.
Interestingly enough, I found that I can also get MM to crash now when I'm using Ctrl-Mousewheel to zoom in or out of documents open in a PDF reader or websites open in my browser.

You may want to capture a log in DBGView and attach that log to a support ticket.
