Can't seem to work since windows 11 last update

[abd0-omar]

Windows 11 did breaking changes and winjump can't even seem to open anymore

[DaveTheNoob]

Experiencing the same thing. It does not open nor run anymore

[widavies]

@AbdoOmarEg @DaveTheNoob Update is coming soon to fix this

[widavies]

@AbdoOmarEg @DaveTheNoob Can you both please right click the WinJump icon and send me a screenshot of the version information:

[abd0-omar]

@widavies sorry of the late response, I don't use winjump anymore but if you still want me to download it and check it again I would be more than happy to do so

[NicoVogel]

@widavies I have two windows 11 devices. On one it works and on the other it does not.

1. started out with windows 11
   • current version: 10.0.22631 Build 22631
   • behavior: works just fine
   • note: I do have a pending update, which I did not yet install, because I like winjump and don't want to risk it
2. was originally windows 10, but then upgraded to windows 11
   • current version 10.0.22621 Build 22621
   • behavior: it does not even start

startup error:

If there is anything I should try out, then please let me know.
I would like to help resolve this :)

[widavies]

@DaveTheNoob @abd0-omar @NicoVogel WinJump should be working on the latest version of Windows:

You can try updating to the latest Windows 11 version and it should work. Let me know if you're still having problems.

[NicoVogel]

Here the results for my two devices:

1. updated to the same version as in your screenshot. Works
2. still version 22621.3155... It does not find a new version right now. Will try again later.

[plmi]

For me it also does not work. I don't get any error when double clicking the executable or executing it via cmd.exe. No error and no tray symbol. I use the newest Windows 11 Enterprise LTSC (24H2 OS Build: 26100.712) from here: https://archive.org/details/windows-11-enterprise-ltsc-24h2 It is the official one.

[dalianzhu]

Cannot run in the latest win11 version.

OS version: 22631.3672

Nothing happens after the program starts, windows event viewer generates an error event.

@widavies (also @Mr-Badger )
As others here, I can't run version 2.0.14 in Win 11. Version 23H2 (OS Build 22631.4037)
Downloaded today for the first time from the latest release.

There is no notification area icon.
The first time I ran it, I had to approve with Smart Screen, of course. After that it just pops a dialog that says it's already running.

Maybe it's just a system tray/icon issue? Is there a commandline interface for making it reload the config?
I see that it did generate a config file in the expected place.

[widavies]

Can you guys try this release out?

https://github.com/widavies/WinJump/releases/tag/2.0.15

24H2 Doesn't work properly，and the taskbar icon is blank

[TomasLiutvinas]

24H2 Doesn't work properly，and the taskbar icon is blank

Is the blank icon right clickable?
If yes, could you add info from there?

Alternatively if that is not working, some other options to get windows version/build:

• win+r winver (be aware bottom part of the window will likely display your email)
  

• Running Command Prompt (CMD) ver
  

• Running from Windows PowerShell cmd \c ver
  

[kola-web]

1. Running as a non-admin causes the taskbar to be blank for 10 ~ 20s
   
   Running as an administrator can be started, as shown in the figure below, but the right-click cannot be clicked
   

2. winver
   

3. ver

@kola-web
This seems to be consistent with running an older WinJump version.
To further narrow down what could be causing the issue: could you confirm the version of WinJump you are using by right clicking the executable file and checking Details tab in the properties of the file?

[kola-web]

[TomasLiutvinas]

@kola-web
Thanks for the information. I guess this rules out the most obvious issues, but I'm not quite sure what else could be causing this. Might be out of my area of expertise at this point 🤦‍♂️.

I've checked again on two different machines Windows 11 N Pro and Windows 11 Home editions, of the same build and was unable to replicate the issue. Seems like the only difference is the language/region or perhaps some windows features, but I'm not familiar enough with the app to ask about any of that.

To investigate further and narrow down possible cause I've got only 2 ideas left:

1. Not super sure how helpful would this be, but should provide a bit more information
   Checking windows Event Viewer > Windows Logs>Application trying to find more information about the crash.
   Below is a sample:
   

2. Would probably require a bit more effort, but if you downloaded and tried to run the application in debug mode from the source code. It should reveal the exact point of the crash. Maybe someone would know what's up.

[kola-web]

1. EventView doesn't have any WinJump-related references
2. The second method, try it when you have time

[kola-web]

I don't know how to do the second method

[TomasLiutvinas]

@kola-web

Well in the case you'd be interested to try it out here is a sample process for 2nd method:

1. Install Visual Studio link
2. Clone repository git clone https://github.com/widavies/WinJump.git
   This can be any directory, I've created a sample empty directory for the demo.
3. Open cloned solution
4. Attach a breakpoint
   this is optional, and it is enough to click once and set it so the line would become red, don't need to remove like I did in the video
5. Try debugging the solution
   If you set the breakpoint, after debugging starts once the breakpoint is hit, you can mouse over the version to see what the application is seeing about the windows version. And then click continue at the top to let the application continue.

The expectation is that the program would crash for you before of after clicking continue or starting debugging process and that would show what piece of code is crashing and a more detailed reason.

Here is me going through the steps in a short video (I skipped installing visual studio, because it is already in my system):

Thank you for your demonstration, I will try it when I am free from work.

@kola-web
I've replicated this issue once, but was not able to repeatedly replicate it again for the video.

Please try opening the solution:

And rebuilding the project:

[kola-web]

[widavies]

Have you guys had any luck getting this to work?

[TomasLiutvinas]

Hey, I kind of got busy and was not able to progress this troubleshooting any further.
I tried to take another shot, but wasn't able to replicate the build failing even when setting everything up from 0 in windows sandbox.

[kola-web]

Is there anything I can work with?
