.NET Framework 4 updates breaking MMC.exe and other CLR.dll Exceptions
- by Fox
I've seen this issue floating around the net the last few weeks and I'm facing exactly the same issue. My servers are set to auto install updates using Windows update (not clever, I know), and since about 2 months ago, I've been getting strange Exceptions.
The first thing that happens is that MMC.exe just crashes randomly and sometimes on startup of the console. The exception in the Windows Application log is as follow:
Faulting application name: mmc.exe, version: 6.1.7600.16385, time
stamp: 0x4a5bc808 Faulting module name: mscorwks.dll, version:
2.0.50727.5448, time stamp: 0x4e153960
Secondly, on the same server, I have some custom Windows services which constantly crash with exceptions :
Faulting application name: Myservice.exe,
version: 1.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x4f44cb11 Faulting module name:
clr.dll, version: 4.0.30319.239, time stamp: 0x4e181a6d Exception
code: 0xc0000005 Fault offset: 0x000378aa
The exception is not in my code. I've tested and retested it.
My server has the following .NET Framework updates installed:
Does anyone have any idea?
