@PtDragon Hello!
- Do you have protection set for
%programdata%
folder? Because there is an issue:
Inner Exception 1:
UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path 'C:\ProgramData\Adguard\Logs\agent' is denied.
- The only thing that crashes is
AdGuard.exe
.AdGuardSvc.exe
process is working, right? - Do you have any records about AdGuard in Windows logs? Open Event Viewer app and go to Windows logs -> Application.
- What if you run the app with admin rights?
Hello!
- Nope
- Yes
- Nope
- Still does not work Did force all rights to everyone for program data folder and it works now. Would save us both a lot of time if AdGuard did output a messagebox with error description instead of crashing silently. Thanks a lot!
@PtDragon
We're gonna consider options for solving this problem. I've reopened this issue.
After many enhancements within the app could you please check this problem again if you don't mind?
In case it still crashes please collect the debug logs and dump file to [email protected]
Thanks in advance!
@PtDragon Hi! Can you check on last version if this problem is recurring
