I tried the experiment last night as well, and I had the exact same experience you described, LangtonBen. :(
Hi Georg, Thank you very much for this solution! I tried it and it worked like a charm! I had never thought of or had experience with creating a virtual machine, so I really appreciate your proposed solution to this problem. I finally stumbled through the process tonight, and I was able to export my Task Coach session with the latest Windows Update installed! Thank you again!
With the Windows Update KB5039211 installed, I experience Task Coach crashing any time Windows' File Explorer is prompted to open, which includes the following. Any attempt to export information Trying to "Save as..." the Task Coach file Opening a Task Coach file Etc. I am able to use Task Coach as long as it doesn't prompt Windows' File Explorer to open. For reference, I have always had autosave turned on, so autosave doesn't change the crashing behavior. I also tried uninstalling and reinstalling...
Hi there! This is the same issue that I'm having over at Ticket #565. The culprit Windows Update is KB5039211. I don't know what Windows did to mess up the interface with File Explorer and Task Coach! The only way I can export data from Task Coach is by uninstalling the Windows Update.
Hi Aaron, thank you for your reply. If it helps at all, I did look at the Event Viewer (native to Windows) and the error occurs due to the windows.storage.dll file. Does that help narrow anything down? The associated Event ID is 1000.
