v1.51 a0c525a WIN 10 x64 2H21 build *** COMPILATION FAILED *** SOLVED

[Richard]

Just updated WIN 10 2H21 and tried dev build and got compilation error as below

This was for the same program which always worked with (almost all) 1.51 dev builds.

With the latest windows monthly update, my .exe of the above was DELETED by Windows as being a virus (hence why I was trying to recompile) - for the last year or so, the .exe was always in the C:\QB64\ folder and always loaded up as part of automated start-up (Task Scheduler) WITHOUT any issues from Windows.

Anyone else have this problem?

Manually restored back to v1.51 6181fe5 including my .exe NO PROBLEMS.

Rebuilt new dev build onto RAM drive and zipped down into C:\

Auto restart (Task Scheduler) now using a0c525a and so far everything seems to be OK.


Attributed "glitch" due to apparent rule change (by MS) on folder protection. Up to fairly recently, whenever a folder (in particular a "new" .exe) is manually accepted by me for inclusion to allowed "threats" (which in my case is EVERY QB64 program I write because of my folder protection provision) - MS used to "remember" the list so that an allowed program from say 6 months ago could be executed without issues. Now it appears, one has to "allow" any QB64 .exe even though it was allowed say 6 months ago.

Summary - now using v1.51 a0c525a as if nothing ever happened.

Glad it's solved. Thanks for updating us.

The a0c525a I am assuming is the build ID.

My question is this different depending on what OS you are running?

I ask because all the versions I have do not have that number.

The version is what I downloaded on the 7/7/2021 from the site for 64x Windows. Name of the download is
