Teams.exe - Was blocked from making system calls to Win32k.sys.
The plot thickens! I thought I should offer you an apology in return, for, seemingly contrary to what I heard from Recoll's developer, the GUI setting to which you pointed me has an option to override the protection of 'win32k' system calls. Admittedly, the option is confusingly worded, but it seemed to me that what I needed to do was to set 'override system settings' to 'on'. So I did. The GUI advised me to restart the affected program - which is the program 'Recoll'. So I did - and when I relaunched Recoll . . it crashed:
Thanks.
'I assume you used override the system settings to set it to off?' Well, please bear with me. Here is what I did.
- I found the section entitled 'Disable Win32k system calls' and, within that, I clicked 'Override system setting'.
- I set the, er, slider entitled 'Off' to . . I forget what. But, just now, I left that slider at it its default of, er, 'Off'. (Or at least 'Off is the default after one has enabled the relevant instance of 'Override system setting.)
- Then (without rebooting) I ran the 'Recoll' program - and, this time, it worked!
But, have I actually made any change? I am so boggled by the UI that I do not know. If I have indeed made no change, then I might experience the problem that I had originally. To wit: sometimes Recoll silently does not run when one tries to run it.
