In recent insider builds, lots of desktop apps crashes upon saving a file or browse for a file. The error is something as below

Unhandled exception at 0x00007FFA166E134D (shell32.dll) in Xamarin Workbooks.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation writing location 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFF8B.

Now I am using the Build 15063.14 with latest updates. This is really really frustrating as I cannot attach a file as attachment in outlook.com with Google Chrome or save a workbook in Xamarin Workbooks.

This error happens on both my machines which both run insider builds

  • Sounds like a bug in Xamarin. Have you tried uninstalling it? – DavidPostill Apr 06 '17 at 12:43
  • the tool accesses a NULL pointer. this is a bug in tools. report it to developers. – magicandre1981 Apr 06 '17 at 16:12
  • No, it's not an issue with Xamarin since Chrome had the same issue - crash when browse file / save file, other apps too. I am pretty sure it's a bug in the system level. – imgen Apr 07 '17 at 23:52
  • create crash dumps of Windows inbox tools (notepad.exe) if it has the same issue and share the dmp: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb513638(VS.85).aspx. Set DumpType to 2 to get a full dmp – magicandre1981 Apr 08 '17 at 07:02
  • Yup, notepad.exe has the same issue – imgen Apr 10 '17 at 08:54
  • @magicandre1981 I collected the dump, what else? – imgen Apr 10 '17 at 09:04
  • zip the dmp, upload the zip to OneDrive, create a share link and post the share link here. I'll look at the dump and also ask my Microsoft contacts for help. – magicandre1981 Apr 10 '17 at 16:01
  • @magicandre1981, the link is https://1drv.ms/u/s!Au3MY0PcVMtTjt4XyF0ocQnpAa5q7w thanks – imgen Apr 12 '17 at 12:40
  • yesterday there was an update to 15063.138. do you see the crashes here, too? also generate a FULL dump, not a minidump. create a DWORD DumpType and set this to 2. – magicandre1981 Apr 12 '17 at 13:45
  • I did as told, this is the link of the dump file https://1drv.ms/u/s!Au3MY0PcVMtTjt4YyK0V5Qs1rG3OOQ – imgen Apr 13 '17 at 23:30
  • the dump shows a memory corruption for shell32.dll. use first chkdsk to look if your NTFS is damaged, next run DISM to look for damaged system files. Have you installed the last update to update to 15063.138? – magicandre1981 Apr 14 '17 at 07:11
  • do you also see the crash if you disable Bins ( C:\Program Files\1UPIndustries\Bins\v1.1.0.784\TaskbarDockAppIntegration64.dll)? – magicandre1981 Apr 14 '17 at 07:17
  • It cannot be with disk damage because I had this issue with both my machines. It could be Bins though. I'll see whether it is Bins that is causing this issue – imgen Apr 15 '17 at 04:01
  • Indeed it was Bins that is causing this issue. I'll uninstall it. Thanks for the help. – imgen Apr 15 '17 at 04:03

It turns out that it is the Bins program that's causing these crashes. Thanks for @magicandre1981's help!
