[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Geany 1.35 - bug in updatechecker plugin on win10 (#2137)

[Doug Henderson]

When I saw the announcement for Geany 1.35, I uninstalled 1.34 plugins and 1.34. I found a user only install and also uninstalled it. Then I installed Geany 1.35 and plugins on Win10 as administrator.

I used plugin manager to enable the updatechecker plugin.

I clicked on the check for updates menu item.

Geany closed immediately. On restarting, Geany closed again. And same again. I uninstalled and reinstalled the plugins, this time not enabling the updatechecker plugin, to restore normal operations.

The Windows event viewer shows an error and an information message. The error text is:

```
Faulting application name: Geany.exe, version: 1.35.0.0, time stamp: 0x00000000
Faulting module name: KERNELBASE.dll, version: 10.0.17763.404, time stamp: 0x3424aead
Exception code: 0x80000003
Fault offset: 0x001502d2
Faulting process id: 0x1cd8
Faulting application start time: 0x01d4fde9f8497578
Faulting application path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Geany\bin\Geany.exe
Faulting module path: C:\WINDOWS\System32\KERNELBASE.dll
Report Id: 4e431283-3912-4af8-a9b7-29fe7840618d
Faulting package full name: 
Faulting package-relative application ID: 
```
I can't seem to attach the WER report. But it may not be useful to anyone outside Microsoft.

My WAG is that geany or the plugin is making a bad windows API call.

Any advice on how to help solve this problem is welcome.

THX
Doug
