System crashes while using clearcase 8.0.1.x /9.0.1.x (checking out files) on windows 10 (1803) platform - windows-10

After upgrading system to Windows 10 - os 1803 we are getting below issues while working with ClearCase 8.0.1.x/9.0.1.x
Unable to checkin/checkout.
Not able to create views.
Not able to add any file to source control.
The system hangs & crashes while performing any ClearCase operation.
There is no error message, but I have attached screenshot for reference.
Please let us know if there is any issue with the Windows 10 ver(1803), any security system enabled?
Or has ClearCase provided any fix?
We have tried 9.0.1.5 and issue still persists.
This is what we got from windows event log.
The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck.
The bugcheck was:
0x000000c2 (0x0000000000000004, 0x00000000535be990, 0x000000000004efd3, 0xfffff803e01848b1)

for most of them whoever has upgraded to windows 1803 ver :( for people who are still using ver1709 it is working perfectly fine
Then I would recommand contacting IBM support: only them can update their ClearCase 9/Windows 10 compatibility matrix and confirm if MVFS is supported on a more recent (1803) Windows 10 edition.

We also facing same problem and I have raised the case with IBM. Still not yet resolved. As IBM said there are some limitations to work ClearCase with windows 10 and windows 2016.
We tried all the options except Secure boot disable. If possible please do disable secure boot option in Windows 10 and try to checkin/checkout code from CleraCase
Note : It works for Snapshot views. That means the issue related to MVFS

I'm seconding #VonC's recommendation to open a ticket with IBM. When you do that, save a step and collect a clearbug2 and a kernel memory dump to send in as soon as the case is opened. It will save the turn-around time of us asking you for it. If the installed programs list doesn't list installed security software (DLP, Privilege management sw like Avecto, other endpoint security tools), please list those separately as well.
I would also love to know who # IBM told you there are "limitations" with Win10-1803.
There are a few issues with Windows 10 "version upgrades" breaking things, but they generally don't cause system crashes. Windows 10 upgrades are actually full OS installs that then (imperfectly) migrate application settings. Anything that uses custom network providers (ClearCase is one example) will find that the network providers will be broken or partially broken. Reinstalling is usually required. Again, that has not yet been reported as a cause of a BSOD.
If the upgrade/reinstall didn't fix view creation, please post a separate question on the view creation issue. There may be things we can do to the SMB 2 caches to allow view creation to work in cases where the view storage is not on the client host.
I noticed that the screen shot you posted is a Terminal Services disconnect screenshot. Does the issue only occur over a Terminal Services client connection or does it also happen on a local connection?

node.js Setup Wizard ended prematurely in windows 10 64bit

For the last 3 days I have been trying to figure out how to install node.js. I tried every solution that I found on the internet, like disabling certain components during installation, installing both x86 and x64 etc, none of them worked.
My OS is Windows 10 x64. I tried different versions of node.js and they all return the same error shown in the screenshot below.
I tried installing through the command line and got the log. But I could not find anything useful from the log either. Please help.
The log can be found here: this path : https://drive.google.com/open?id=1OkkK36hlQeBX0xTNuOuilGaNr1u3S55e
MSI (s) (74:88) [20:49:45:955]: Executing op: ActionStart(Name=RegisterEventManifest,,)
MSI (s) (74:88) [20:49:45:961]: Executing op: CustomActionSchedule(Action=RegisterEventManifest,ActionType=3073,Source=BinaryData,Target=CAQuietExec,CustomActionData="wevtutil.exe" im "C:\Program Files\nodejs\node_etw_provider.man")
MSI (s) (74:A0) [20:49:45:969]: Invoking remote custom action. DLL: C:\WINDOWS\Installer\MSI33C1.tmp, Entrypoint: CAQuietExec
CAQuietExec: Error 0xc0000409: Command line returned an error.
This is the relevant part of the log and where the install keels over, noise removed. 0xc0000409 is very, very nasty. STATUS_STACK_BUFFER_OVERRUN is a stack corruption error, triggered by code that protects against viral attacks.
Searching for "nodejs install 0xc0000409" takes you to this bug report, notable from December 2015. This issue has been dogging users for a long time, but they are having trouble finding the root cause. The generic workaround is to disable this install step by disabling the installation of the ETW performance counters.
Which works, but is but a band-aid. I think macario1983's comment points at the real troublemaker. It got a lot of helpful votes in just two days. And points at the kind of viral rootkit that programmer's voluntarily install, the kind that can so easily cause a STATUS_STACK_BUFFER_OVERRUN error with no decent way to identify the code that causes it. Anti-malware has become a cure that is worse than the disease, Avast in particular is a truly awful product and does not belong on a programmer's machine.
So decent advice is to 1: disable the anti-malware product before installing Node. 2: get rid of completely if it is Avast. 3: disable the performance counter registration. 4: try the updated installer, patched 4 days ago.
I disabled the AVG antivirus(version 18.4.3056) but not windows firewall and then i was able to install nodejs.
Possible options to solve this:
1. Removing previous installations traces
If you have previous installations, make sure that they were uninstaled completely. If HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Perflib\_V2Providers\{1e2e15d7-3760-470e-8699-b9db5248edd5} record exist in your register, remove it.
2. Disabling Performance Counters
If you don't need Performance counters feature, try to install without it (or maybe even without Event Tracing).
3. Disabling security and giving the full permissions
Clean Temp Folder
Disable your antivirus/firewall for the period of installation.
C:/users/$user/AppData/Local/Temp- Right Click on Temp and go to Properties > select Security Tab > give the user permissions by checking Full Control on permission
Install Node.js
I had today the same problem with Windows 10 64 bit and Node.js 8.11.2: disabling completly Avast just for the time of the installation solved the issue.
I was trying to install Node.js through node-v8.11.2-x64.exe, but it was rolling back every time at the end. The error in the event log was about wevtutil.exe, version 10.0.17134.1
I had the same issue on a Windows 2012R2 server installing node-v8.11.2-x64, and disabled the McAfee anti-virus to no avail. When I went to clean out the TEMP folder as suggested in this thread, I noticed that several files and folders were locked and could not be deleted, so I rebooted the machine (with the anti-virus disabled). After the reboot, I noticed that the locked temp files had been deleted, and I was able to install node.js, including the Performance Counters and Event Tracking options.
I spent one day for that ....Best solutions is download zip example node-v12.16.2-win-x86.zip.

Azure Classic VM. How to fix Error: "We couldn't complete the updates. Undoing changes. Don't turn off your computer."

An automated Windows update this morning left my Windows Server 2012 R2 Classic Virtual Machine on Azure in a semi-crashed state. The VM is a web server, and all the files and applications in it are still accessible via the browser. In other words, IIS and a number of other services are still running. Unfortunately, however, the VM is not accessible via Remote Desktop and is unresponsive to commands from the Azure management interface on the portal.azure.com website.
This type of error is quite common and can be found reported on many other websites. The error has been happening to Windows users (not just Windows Server) for many years already, and none of the solutions online will work for Azure users, because they involve restarting from a CD, pressing shift-f8 during boot, issuing DOS commands, restoring from backup, or unchecking certain properties in VMWare or other software.
Does anybody have a real solution for this problem on Microsoft Azure?
After struggling with this for weeks, I think I was able to fix this with the help of Microsoft support! I decide to post the solution here in case it can help someone in the future. Here are the three things that you need to do to fix this:
1-Restore the VM from a backup prior to the crash. The VM with the "Undoing Changes" crash is pretty much toast at this point. Now, proceed to steps 2 and 3 to ensure that the next batch of Windows Updates won't crash it again!
2-On your new VM, ensure that the Environment Variables for TEMP and TMP both point to C:\Windows\TEMP. In my case, they were both pointing to a temporary folder in the logged in user's profile.
3-Ensure that C:\Windows\TEMP is always empty. I achieved this by setting up a scheduled task that runs a simple BAT file that deletes all files and folders inside of the C:\Windows\TEMP once a day. I spoke with a Microsoft representative who said that even though you may have plenty of hard drive space in your C:\ drive, the Windows TEMP folder is really not supposed to get much bigger than 500MB. When it gets very large you may have some issues with Windows Updates (mine was just under 500MB when the updates were failing).
I would recommend contacting Azure support as something may have to be done by an engineer to fix the issue and unfortunately classic VMs don't have the redeploy feature.
I've added only InboundPort 3389 RPD, and works well now.

Okhttp asking to approve connection via dialog box want to make silent

I am using latest okhttp and when using at home it connects just fine. Inside a company it displays dialog box for approval to connect to a server. I do not want the user to see that dialog box just connect silently like it does for me at home. How do I get it to do that? I used httpclient from Apache and it does not do that. I wrote my own code to determine proxy and added that to Apache client code and it does not ask for connection approval.
Thanks for the help,
-Tony
Disable the software firewall that is showing the dialog. The dialog isn't OkHttp; it's just a side effect from OkHttp using your network.
Seems the issue might have nothing to do with firewalls as I expected. I read there were issues with earlier versions of Java and even 8u25. I am using 32-bit 8u45 a security patch release. I installed 32-bit 8u60 EA and it seemed to have fixed the problem. So I am sure 32-bit 8u45 has the issue. Hopefully when 8u60 is released (soon I hope) it will still have the fix. I will check another laptop I have that works to see what version of java it is running.

FileSystemWatcher no longer has old filename in some Windows 7 machines

This one is too bizarre for me. In my Framework 4.0 WinForms app, FileSystemWatcher recently started giving me a null for OldName and only the parent folder for OldFullPath, not the full path of the old filename. However, some of the Windows 7 computers do this while others do not. I tried uninstalling our company anti-virus program temporarily but that didn't make any difference. I rolled back my code but it didn't make any difference.
I tried switching my application from Framework 4.0 to 4.5.2 but the problem persisted. In fact, I believe the problem is at a lower level than .NET because I wrote a test C++ program that uses ReadDirectoryChangesW() and a similar problem occurs: the problem computer never receives the FILE_ACTION_RENAMED_OLD_NAME notification, only the FILE_ACTION_RENAMED_NEW_NAME one.
I compared running processes and ended ones that are running on the problem computer but not on the non-problem one. Both computers are up to date with Windows Updates; I am hoping not to have to start uninstalling them.
I have one Windows 8 computer and the problem is not there; however, upgrading from 7 to 8 is not an option for several other deployments.
It just occurred to me to look at kernel32.dll on the respective machines, since that is where ReadDirectoryChangesW() lives. It's different.
Worky: v6.1.7601.18798
No worky: v6.1.7601.18869
Was there a recent change to the API that I need to accommodate?
Update: I found a non-working machine with v6.1.7601.18409 so that's not the problem.
In a word, Kaspersky.
To elaborate, I thought I had already tested removing KAS but maybe I didn't reboot after or something, and it's odd because it is also installed on a computer at work that does not present the problem--same version of KAS.
Note that this version is a corporate version, which installs:
Kaspersky Endpoint Security 10 for Windows
and
Kaspersky Security Center Network Agent
A central policy is pushed out to each client computer and enforced. It has control over settings, like trusted applications (a whitelist). When IT pushed out a whitelist entry for my specific application, it fixed the problem.
Note that there are several checkboxes to select for each trusted application entry. This fix only needed one of them.
Under Settings | Anti-Virus protected | Exclusions and trusted applications | Settings, there is a list that can be added to.
Do not scan opened files
X Do not monitor application activity
Do not inherit restrictions of the parent process (application)
Do not monitor child application activity
Allow interaction with application interface
Do not scan network traffic
Honourable mention must go to my co-worker, Arti Chauhan, who suggested more than once that KAS might be the problem. I thought I had fully tested when I guess I hadn't.

Windows 7 Application Experience Service keep stopping preventing MSVC from linking

Annoyingly, when developing in MSVC2010, my EXE will not link (ie cannot emit output file) because the application experience service in Windows 7 has stopped.
I've no idea how these two things can be related, but i've been "fixing" it my manually restarting the process in the Windows service manager. Then i can link. At a random time later it will happen again. the process is set to automatic by default.
i've had enough of this madness. does anyone have any ideas? thanks.
Please try this: http://gauravpandey.com/wordpress/?p=291 it should work. it has atleast worked for me though I have not really understood the relationship between the two issues.
