Mutex - Access denied err when creating mutex from a window servic

I have a dll that creates a named mutex. The mutex is successfully created
when loading the dll through a console application. However the same fails
when running it though a Windows service. The service is running under the
local system account.
Thanks.

If the asp.net application creates the mutex, the executable cannot access it (access denied error). Likewise, if the...

Hi. I want to use the same mutex in different classes (web pages in an ASP.NET application). In global.asax.cs, the class that starts up first, I create a Mutex like this: static private Mutex mtxBezoeken = new Mutex(false, "bezoeken"); which compiles and executes just fine. Then in another page I want to write to a file that may also be accessed by global.asax.cs so I want access to

I want to set a mutex in one windows account and allow another windows account to access this mutex. For testing I have two forms that create a mutex using the C# mutex class. I am logging into Windows XP as "User1" and creating and locking the mutex from "User1" using the 1st form. I then use the "switch users" function to log in as "User2" and run the 2nd form and attempt to create the mutex (using the same name). When I try this I get...

I have a test server runinng 2003/IIS 6 with a mixture of asp and asp.net files. On my workstation I have a share set up to the folder where the web files reside.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
