Compiled Executable Will Not Run

[tomlink]

I ran Windows Update on my Windows 10 desktop on 5/12. Since then the executable created by qb64 will not run. Absolutely nothing happens. I updated to that latest QB64 and recompiled. Same problem. Just now I tried to run the program on a Windows 10 VM that does not have those updates and it runs just fine. I don't want to back off the updates, as that is not a sustainable solution. Is there any way to get more info about what is going on?

Hi, @tomlink - welcome aboard.

Any chance your Windows Defender settings got reset with the update and you need to whitelist your QB64 folder again?

I didn't need to whitelist the executable before, but just to be sure I did add the folder where the program resides, and no change.

God knows whatever easter egg has been added in the latest Windows build. If you get any new info, please share.

I have my bypasses - 1) Run from that VM, but eventually it will get updated too. 2) Run old QuickBasic under DosBox. Neither are as nice as QB64, but I don't run my program daily. Thanks for the replies.

Can you share the source code for the program?  I’m willing to compile and test to see if it’s a localized issue, or something that might affect everyone.
