Crash after saving
« on: November 21, 2016, 09:13:55 pm »
Hello,
since today I got the problem that Code Block crashes after trying to save my programm. The programm isnt that big just 7KB... The notebook i am using isnt the fastest but i think it should handle this with ease.
Also i can not taskkill the programm Codeblocks because that doesnt even react. By trying to "taskkill /IM "codeblocks.exe" /T /F" it just tells me that the process (subordinated to process "explorer.exe) can not be abandonned. Taskmanager also stops working in that case.

Can anyone please help me?

Thank you.

With best regards :)

What operating system?
What did you changed, so that it starts to crash?
What are the exact steps to crash codeblocks? (something like: 1) Open project 2) change file 3) Hit File->Save Project *CRASH*)
Does this happen only with one specific project?

I am using WIN 10 64 bit.

And i didnt even change a thing... CB crashes after i open a project, edit it and save it with ctrl+s. After this even the whole explorer crashes and i cant do anything anymore. Even shutting down the notebook is impossible and i have to force it to shutdown.
It occours on every project I open.

I also tried to completely deinstall it and reinstall it at another drive... unsuccesfully...

If you didn't changed anything i don't think that this is a c::b problem.

This looks like  serious crash of some key componet on your system. Or c::b uses all CPU he can get. Can you see the CPU usage of codeblocks in the Task manager?
Have you tried to make a File system check? It could be possible that your file system is damaged.

Have you a Anti Virus tool? Can you try to disable it?

If this happens on every, also newly created project, I can also think of a corrupted config file of codeblocks. Close Codeblocks and try to rename the c:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Codeblocks\default.conf to old_default.conf afterwards start codeblocks again and look if the crash happens again.

greetings

I tried several things now.
1. File system check. Everything was fine.
2. I disabled Anti Vir
3. Reinstalled Windows 10.

Nothing helped, still crashes my explorer -.- maybe i am going to return the notebook for a warranty case :)

Have you tried to start c::b from the commandline.
Usually, then you can see logmessages and you might get crashlog messages as well.
This might help to narrow down the cause.

If you start from commandlien, you can start it with "-v" parameter.
And did you try to remove/rename the old config-file as BlueHazzard wrote ?

I use C::B on Win10 64bit quite ofetn, withn out any issues so far, but I only use it as editor for web-developing.

quite drastic if only codeblocks is crashing. Are other programs also crashing?
