Heads-up: Windows 10 Update 2022-05 (KB5013942) kills VirtualVP...

(1/1)

saratogaWX:
I installed 2022-05 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 21H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5013942) today.

VirtualVP would no longer start.  It displayed an error message about TooltipIcon.visible not being available.  Tried multiple compatibility settings w/wo administrator, and no dice.  Had to rollback that Cumulative Update to have VirtualVP work again on my system.

I'll post more when I find a resolution.

saratogaWX:
Ok, very curious... On my development system (Windows 10 also), the KB5013942 installed, and after reboot,  VirtualVP started just fine and ran normally.
Grrrr... I backed out the update on the weather station system, rebooted and VirtualVP ran fine again.

Now to dig into what was updated in KB5013942

waiukuweather:
its likely to do with showing the system tray icon and trying to make that visible even if windows is trying to hide system tray icons (to stop clutering)
and a info message (balloon) above that system tray icon

saratogaWX:
More data:  I reinstalled (with windows update) the KB5013624 .NET update, and the KB5013942 update 2022-05 still showed as installed (even though I'd done a rollback on it) ?!?

Shutdown the system to reboot and install the updates.

I set VirtualVP to have no compatibility setting, and not to run as administrator.

Lo and behold, VirtualVP came up normally with no complaints.   Argggh... I really hate non-reproducible errors, but it looks like it's resolved for me now.
