Any way to track the malformed apps at startup?
No ideal for the first two apps on the list. Do they belong to Microsoft service or third-party? very confused for this!
- If you have specific apps in mind that you find confusing:
Google Search: Simply search for the names of the applications along with “Windows” or “service” to see if they are recognized as genuine Microsoft processes or third-party applications.
Microsoft: Official Microsoft documentation often contains lists of core processes and applications that belong to Windows services.
1.Use debugging tools:
Using debugging tools in an integrated development environment (IDE), you can run the code step-by-step, observe the state of variables and program flow, and catch exception messages.
Development environments such as Visual Studio, Eclipse, Xcode, etc. provide powerful debugging features.
2.Logging:
Add logging features to your application to record critical steps and error messages during startup. This can help you track down the exact location and context of the error.
You can use off-the-shelf logging libraries (e.g. log4j, NLog, Winston, etc.) to simplify the implementation of logging.
3.Exception handling:
Add a global exception handling mechanism to the code that starts the program to catch unhandled exceptions and log error messages.
