ContextSwitchDe adlock

XP box running a Win 2k3 server in a virual PC for CRM development...

Intermittently (once a day ish) when single stepping I get the following
exception:-

The CL context 0x1a19d8 has been unable to transition from COM Context
0x1a1868 to COM context 0x1a19d8 for 60 seconds The thread that owns the
destination context/apartment is most likely either doing a non pumping wait
or processing a very long running operation without pumping windows messages.
The situation generally has a negative performance impactand may even lead to
the application becoming unresponsive or memory usage accumulating
continually over time. To avoid this problem, all single threaded apartment
(STA) threads should use pumping wait primitives (such as
CoWaitForMultip leHandles) and routinely pump messages during long running
operations.

The code that causes this is nothing special, nothing long running, any ideas?

guy,

Check out this article:

To disable this MDA:
1. goto "Debug", "Exceptions ..." menu
2. Managed Debugging Assistants, uncheck ContextSwitchDe adlock

Hope this helps,
Steve

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,...
