I am following this example to learn more about Memory Snapshots.
The example mentions, that hoovering over an allocated object should show the object instance, e.g.
This would be super convenient, but it does not work for me.
Am I missing something, or is there some setting to activate this feature?
Notes:
I am using Chrome Version 89.0.4389.82 64-bit (also tried 91.0.4439.0)
Hoovering over variables in the Sources tab works
I have already tried Restore defaults and reload in the Settings (still not working)
A workaround for now is to right-click on the variable and select Store as global variable. Then we can see the object instance in the console.
It's a bug in Chrome since version >= 88: Issue 1185573: Hover preview for objects is broken in memory profiler.
Thanks to wOxxOm for the comment
As a temporary workaround I have downloaded the Portable Google Chrome Version 87 from here.
Just exit all existing Chrome browser instances, install into a dedicated directory and run the executable named GoogleChromePortable.exe.
Actually this is perfect for testing, because we now also have a clean chrome user-profile without any installed extensions, etc.
And we can easily delete and reinstall the portable app.

I just started experimenting with the .NET framework and I noticed that when I run:
dotnet list packagein the JavaScript Debug Terminal of VS Code I get all my packages as I should but they have strange Links attached to some of them that lead to scam sites.
ex:
> Windows.EntityFrameworkCore.SQlite --> ww1 .entityframework.com which is a shitty site pretending to be .NET hiring developers.
....
enter image description here
I tried running anti virus scans and cleanups. Nothing detected.
I tested on PowerShell, GitBash and Cmd terminals. Nothing, only happens in the JavaScript Debug Terminal
I tried disabling all my VS Code extensions (including the built-in ones) except the JavaScript debugger to see if its coming form another extension. Still there.
I have heard of extension vulnerabilities and VS Code Hacks but this is a built-in plugin.
Has this happened to anyone?
VSCode is configured to attempt to parse strings from any output that could represent a valid URL and present the option to you as a clickable link for convenience.
Since .tools is a valid TLD, it thinks the string Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Tools is referencing the URL http://microsoft.entityframeworkcore.tools/ which it seems has been parked by an unscrupulous individual or organization. You as the developer should understand that this is a namespace reference and not a URL, and thus there is no value in clicking it.
This is not indicative of any sort of malware or any real malfeasance.
I would like to check programmatically if a new Windows "feature update" - that is a new major version like 1904, 20H2 - is available. It seems WUAPI doesn't return these updates, but I might be making a mistake.
I think it is possible to install these unattendedly by downloading the Windows 10 Update Assistant and calling it with some poorly documented flags, or by unpacking an .iso and calling setup.exe. But what I'd really like to have is the interface that the Windows settings app uses. I'd like to basically click on "Search for Updates" programmatically, see if a feature update is offered, and possibly install that.
It is not an solution to just unconditionally run setup.exe (I already know how to do that). Neither is "switching to WSUS", because the computer in question may or may not be managed by WSUS. I'd like to show the update if and when it is offered, no matter wheter it comes from Microsoft's servers or WSUS. Is there any way to do that (short up screen-scraping the settings app? :-D).
Have you seen Boxstarter.org ?
Automation of windows installs.
But there is also an Install-WindowsUpdate function.
Finds, downloads and installs all Windows Updates. By default, only critical updates will be searched. However the command takes a -Criteria argument allowing one to pass a custom Windows Update query.
Help Install-WindowsUpdate -Full
See https://boxstarter.org/WinConfig
This should give you any hidden updates:
Install-WindowsUpdate -criteria "IsHidden=1 and IsInstalled=0 and Type='Software' and BrowseOnly=1"
output:
++ Boxstarter starting Checking for updates...
Restarting windows update service
++ Boxstarter finished Checking for updates... 00:00:29.5201057
There is no update applicable to this machine
My nw.js app suddenly stopped working on Windows 10 with the following error;

I don't know what windows has changed recently but it has been working solidly on previous versions of Windows for years. I've updated the country tag as per available language packs for windows here and chromium tags but still no luck.
According to this thread :
"I use Chrome and stopped updating it once they made tabbed-options
mandatory. I also keep my User Data folder in a non-default location.
When this bug started, I used the --single-process trick for a while
but as mwalsher said, it stopped working when they messed with the Web
Store. I used but hate the manual method outlined above, so what I did
was to simply move my User Data folder to a FAT32 partition. Problem
solved; now I can successfully install packed extensions from an older
version of Chromium, running in normal mode, to a non-default User
Data folder. Even better, thanks to a system I set up
(http://superuser.com/questions/196886/how-to-relocate-chrome-profile-but-also-make-new-links-open-with-the-relocated-p/257706#257706),
it was /extremely/ easy to change it (I had only to change a single
byte and reboot)."

"Change the security permissions of the temp directory might fix this
problem. On my computer, the temp directory only has 3 full control
user (My Account, System, Administrators) at beginning. I manually
give everyone full control to this folder (maybe adding list
permission only also works). However it doesn't work immediately,
until next day I restart the computer with great surprise.
..
As a workaround, --no-sandbox might work. Note that this is just as
unsafe as --single-process, so be careful when using it.

installed cleanly..
My adblock extension was acting buggy, so I uninstalled it. When I went to reinstall it, it got stuck on "Checking". And it never moves past it. Whenever I try to restart the download, it says that I already have it downloading.
I've tried resetting things, I've restarted my browser, signed off of my google account. Everything I can think of and that I've seen suggested.
If anyone reads this, try turning off "Use Hardware Acceleration" in your chrome settings. Use search to find it on settings menu. Fixed the issue on my VM.
There is a discussion in the adblock forum about this issue. I don't know if you have already seen this, but I think it is worth looking at; as there are several suggestions on how to resolve this.
Try the development version.
Change the download location specified in chrome.
Check if you are logged with your users in store.
Hope this helps.
Steps to resolve:
Completely stop Chrome (you'll need to exit Chrome in your task bar even after closing the Chrome window).
Rename your Extension State directory to Extension State.bak.
Restart Chrome.
Below is the path of the Extension State directory on Windows:
C:\Users\<user_name>\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Extension State
See Where does Chrome store extensions? for the Extension State path on other operating systems.
I have recently upgraded to the new Azure SDK (September 2011 v 1.5).
Ever since I have not been able to start the compute emulator. Consequently I can't debug the services on my local machine.
I have seen a suggestion that the problem lies with the fact that my user account has a space in it, so I renamed my account but that didn't make any difference. It may be that the problem is that my user profile path has a space in it. Changing the account name has no effect no the profile path.
On the msdn forums it was suggested that I remove *:808 binding in IIS Manager for Default Website. See MSDN Forums
Anyone have any other ideas?
Another option:
So, given the "rename your user account/regedit doesn't work for you, you may want to look at this MSDN article, which suggests you can just set an environment variable and run the emulator without mucking with the registry... not sure if setting the environment variable globally would let you run automatically within VS.NET without manually starting up the emulator the first time, but it is certainly easier.
Yes, the space(s) in your profile path are the issue, and this appears to be a regression for a bug that was found in a previous version of the emulator (the only reason I even thought to try logging in with a different account in the first place). I was literally just putting together a quick blog post here describing the same issue. You'll need to do some registry editing to fix all the references to your old profile path if you want to fix it, or just create a new user if you can deal with re-installing software (I love the Web Platform Installer, but I found out during this exercise that it doesn't do a good job installing for "all users").
