vscode and ungoogled chromium cannot open/launch crash on start

[onguarde]

Took me some time to trace it to windhawk, i thought it was my antivirus that is preventing the programs from starting up...

When I added the process in the exclusion list above, it launches perfectly. My question is why is this exclusion required? Why is windhawk interfering with programs launching. Even launching the program as administrator from file explorer doesn't work.

I want to understand what is happening and whether windhawk will interfere with other programs in such a drastic way.

Btw, I'm using these mods, but disabling all of them still issue persists.
I'm on the latest v1.5.1.

Windows 11

Troubleshooting lists the following programs as incompatible. I'm surprised vscode is not on the list. It maybe something specific to my setup.
VirtualBox - see Issue #25.
Battlefield 2042 - see Issue #169.

It still might be related to an antivirus not liking Windhawk's injection. Which antivirus are you using? If possible, could you try disabling it or excluding the Windhawk folder?

Both VSCode and Chromium are definitely supported.

Also, is there a crash on launch? Can you capture a crash dump? You should be able to get it with the following steps:

• Open regedit
• Go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Error Reporting
• Create a key named LocalDumps
• Create a DWORD value named DumpType with value 2
• Trigger the crash
• Go to the %LocalAppData%\CrashDumps folder, you should see a dump file in there
