Problem in Windows Server 2022
Hello, I need help with the following: I had the video application installed and working on a VPS with Windows Server 2022, and suddenly it stopped working. It won't start, and it doesn't show any errors or events that I can analyze in the viewer. Does anyone have any idea what might be happening? I've already tried many AI recommendations, from uninstalling and reinstalling an older version of the application to uninstalling the latest server update, among other things. I also tried installing it on another VPS, and it shows the same problem.

Hi, sorry you’re dealing with this one. Applications that close without displaying an error can be difficult to diagnose. Since the same application now fails on two VPS machines, I would compare anything they share before doing another rollback, especially antivirus or EDR policies, licensing connectivity, .NET or Visual C++ dependencies, and recent provider-side changes. Try starting the executable from an elevated Command Prompt and check whether an exit code appears. I would also run Process Monitor with a filter for the application’s executable and look for ACCESS DENIED, NAME NOT FOUND, or a missing DLL immediately before the process exits. Reliability Monitor and the Application log in Event Viewer may also reveal a faulting module. A clean-boot test on one VPS would help identify interference from another service. Could you share the application name and version, the Windows build, and whether its process appears briefly in Task Manager?
