This started happening recently, does anyone know what could cause it?

I have latest version of WLM and A-Patch applied (ages ago, but this problem only just started).

i have the Exact same.

This started happening about 2 weeks ago Also, opening a conversation takes about a minute for the whole application to respond again.

What i have tried:

Uninstalling, removing all entries in Appdata from WLM.

Reinstalled: same thing occurs.

Also, when someone sends me an IM i get the message instantly, and its on my taskbar, but once i want to open the conversation it takes another minute for it to load.

That plus i get the exact same error as the OP

start WinDbg and attach to the WLM process and wait for the error

Okay, simple enough, if i wouldve looked before i asked... :p

Anyways, i attached it to the process after i logged in, i dont know what its doing now but messenger is unusable at the moment after i attached the process.

Now i just wait ?

This is what it said after the list of dll files btw

(118c.940): Break instruction exception - code 80000003 (first chance)
ntdll!DbgBreakPoint:
00000000`7782f190 cc			  int	 3

next hit F5 to run the program after attaching.

Okay, it has ran since then, finally today something happend after which i could not resume the debugging with F5.

The errors on the bottom are from trying to resume the debugger.

However when this occured i did not get a runtime error from messenger

you're getting a STATUS_GUARD_PAGE_VIOLATION (0x80000001) exception.

A guard page provides a one-shot alarm for memory page access. This can be useful for an application that needs to monitor the growth of large dynamic data structures. For example, there are operating systems that use guard pages to implement automatic stack checking.

To create a guard page, set the PAGE_GUARD page protection modifier for the page. This value can be specified, along with other page protection modifiers, in the VirtualAlloc, VirtualAllocEx, VirtualProtect, and VirtualProtectEx functions. The PAGE_GUARD modifier can be used with any other page protection modifiers, except PAGE_NOACCESS.

If a program attempts to access an address within a guard page, the system raises a STATUS_GUARD_PAGE_VIOLATION (0x80000001) exception. The system also clears the PAGE_GUARD modifier, removing the memory page's guard page status. The system will not stop the next attempt to access the memory page with a STATUS_GUARD_PAGE_VIOLATION exception.

The cause is Adobe flash. Which version do you use? Can you try to upgrade to the newest version?

I have updated it now, however Messenger is still VERY slow, its like its running on 100% CPU, thats how it feels..(but it isnt)

It logs in normally, i open a chat window, it appears instantly but the window is empty after 30 seconds i can see whats in the widow(typing box etc) but it still takes another 30 seconds for me to be able to type anything in it.

It is exactly the same when someone sends me an IM, the IM is received instantly, but when i open the IM window, the above happens.

Ive set the debugger to run again, im gonna see what happens now.

you could try to run the Windows performance toolkit (xperf) to capture what is causing the high CPU usage:

https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?show...#entry591870700

Nothing is getting high cpu usage.. if only it would be that easy.

Anyways ive gotten another thing in the Debugger, this happens when i Select TEXT in the IM window, after this error however i can reusume with F5 and continue using messenger.

(a40.a44): Access violation - code c0000005 (first chance)
First chance exceptions are reported before any exception handling.
This exception may be expected and handled.

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts

      By Max Norris · Posted

      Nice, hope they *finally* fixed the issue with the NTFS driver where the system would completely brick during large file copies using the built in driver. It's been broken for years requiring me to use the older, slower, NTFS-3G FUSE driver.
    • Windows 11 KB5094126 BSODing, freezing, forcing BitLocker lockout, breaks OneDrive, and more

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Windows 11 KB5094126 BSODing, freezing, forcing BitLocker lockout, breaks OneDrive, and more by Sayan Sen Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 last week as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. While Microsoft has so far not acknowledged any major problems with the release, some users online are running into problems. These range from OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. The most common one seems to be happening with HP systems wherein affected users say they hit 0xc0430001 BSOD (blue screen of death) error code after the KB5094126 update. We wonder if this could be related to the recent bug we covered on HP devices wherein the ongoing Secure Boot certificate updates are leading to similar issues. While we are not certain, users affected by this issue likely need to ensure that the boot.stl file is included on the installation media (such as a USB installer or ISO), if the above-mentioned dynamic updates are deployed. If this file is missing, computers may fail to boot from the installation media and could display the error 0xc0430001. This STL file is used by Secure Boot to verify that the boot files are trusted, so it must match the same Windows version and system architecture. To ensure the file is included, Microsoft recommends using the Update WinPE script, which automatically updates the image and handles the required files. Alternatively, you can manually copy the boot.stl file from the Windows\Boot\EFI folder on a Windows device and place it in the matching folder on your installation media before deploying the updated image. Aside from blue screening some users also note their systems have been freezing following the update. This could be happening to Lenovo PCs specifically. In the case of the OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, a user figured out that there could be a conflict with UAC. He explained: "Okay, so I did some digging, and in our environment KB5094126 breaks OneDrive and Dropbox in Explorer. I went through all our GPOs and found out that the combination of disabling UAC and having my user being a local admin breaks OneDrive in Explorer. ... If I enable UAC again, then it works, even with KB5094126 still installed." Hopefully, Microsoft will look into these issues.

      It is when it's a desktop in my house though for a PC that's lightly used and not really important when it is. If it was a laptop, it would be a different story. The real solution is varied and begins starting at post #22 in that thread.
