Win 11 - App Crash - After Device Detection #453

Open

Description

@JakeNYC

System / Driver / Version Information (for context):

  • Win 11 Home 23H2
  • Driver: winusb.sys (10.0.22621), installed via Sadie 2.9
  • OpenHantek 3.4.0-34 (MSVC x64)

Issue: After executing OpenHantek.exe (for a second time on system, after changing setting/options), applications crashes. This after the Select Device screen pops-up, device detection is successful, and the application attempts to launch.

Fix: From command prompt, run the “OpenHantek.exe —reset settings”. Propose adding this to the issue/fix to the README.

Other Thoughts/Comments: I’m happy to help debug root cause. I will try to play with settings/relaunching see if I can isolate the root cause. Maybe a longer term solution is to implement “if crash, prompt user to reset settings” loop in the UI. I’m not a C guy or I’d offer to help develop. In addition to this issue (and making a donation), let me know if I can help with the window development/testing/support. You can reach me at jakenyc at gmail.com.

    OpenHantek -h tells you all command line options within seconds.

    yea, I find out that after couple of hours.
    Just wanted to point out if anyone else finds this bugreport and wondering why that workaround doesn't work.

    I have also had this issue after going into settings then starting the app again. Application detects the device then imediately crashes.
