TC 8.52a hangs in Win10 Pro

Post by *wisekat »

I upgraded from the v8.51a to v8.52a several days ago, and TC started to hang in my Windows 10 Pro 64-bit. It happens when I'm simply traversing folders or doing other simplest file/folder operations.

Perhaps, the issue is related to the operations with the SD card I'm using in the card slot of my ultrabook. I'm not sure whether this is the source of the problem, but I just suspect this as it seems TC hangs when the SD card activity indicator blinks (an SD card is used for the Windows built-in File History tool).

The only thing I'm totally sure in is that I reverted back to the v8.51a, and now TC is stable enough - except one case. If I hit DEL to delete a directory, TC hangs with the Deletion confirmation dialog, when the progress bar in it reports 100% (after the folder has been really deleted - I can see that in the Windows Explorer).

What it could be?

And where can I download some latest versions of TC to try and see whether these problems aren't present in them? Thanks God, I saved the installation of the v8.51a, but I guess there were other official releases between this version and the latest one (8.52a). I'd like to try them if this is possible.

Once TC is hanging, please create a report with this tool and post it here, or send it to support at ghisler dot com.

I have just sent two hang reports to the support address.

One more important thing: the 32-bit edition of TC works without any problems on my pc, both versions - 8.51a & 8.52a.

It doesn't seem to hang, the hang address is 0. A user who reported this before had a crash in the OLE subsystem when the background thread terminated. He could successfully delete files with Shift+Del, though, bypassing the recycle bin.
