Switcheroo doesn't work anymore #62

Closed philippotto closed 8 years ago

philippotto commented 8 years ago

On my Windows 10 machine Switcheroo doesn't work anymore. It could be related to a Windows update, I installed a few days ago (not sure when the issue appeared exactly).

The switcheroo icon is still shown in the tray and I can also open the settings. However, invoking the shortcut unfocuses the active application, but doesn't show the switcheroo interface. If I press a key, Switcheroo crashes. If I enable, that Switcheroo should be activated on Alt+Tab, triggering Alt+Tab also crashes it.

If I "debug" the release build (without debugging symbols in VisualStudio), I can see that an exception occurred in WriteString. Additionally, I saw the following message.

An exception of type "System.ArgumentException" occurred in System.Xml.dll. Additional information: ' ', hex value 0x05, is not a valid character.

I'll try to have a look into building Switcheroo myself and debugging it for further details.

Hmm, executing the newest code (should be the same as the binary I used before) with Visual Studio worked for me. I built an installer with which I reinstalled Switcheroo and now everything works fine. So, I'd consider it as a weird hiccup and will close this issue for now :)
