Technical Support Request: Protected C# Application Crashing on Windows 11

[gto70070]

I am writing to report an issue with my C# application after protecting it with Enigma Protector version 7.80 (20250225).

Issue Description:
- My application is developed in C# (32-bit)
- After protecting it with Enigma Protector, the application briefly appears and then immediately disappears/crashes when launched on Windows 11
- The same protected application works normally on Windows 10 systems
- This issue consistently occurs on Windows 11 (Version 24H2)

I have not modified any of the default protection settings and am experiencing this issue specifically in the Windows 11 environment.

Technical Details:
- Application: 32-bit C# application
- Enigma Protector Version: 7.80 (20250225)
- Operating System with issue: Windows 11 (Version 24H2)
- Operating System where it works: Windows 10

Could you please advise on potential solutions or configuration changes that might resolve this compatibility issue? I would appreciate any guidance on making my protected application compatible with Windows 11.

Thank you for your assistance.

Hi gto70070,

sorry to hear you are having trouble of this kind. It would be best if you could answer some more questions so the problem can be tracked down more easily and so that Vladimir has all infos needed to fix the issue (if the issue is caused by Enigma itself).

● Are you using managed obfuscation before Enigma like https://www.softwareprotection.info/202 ... -protector?
● Wich .net Version is used?
● Are you using the bundling feature?
● Are you using .net AOT feature?
● Wich type is used? Console? Winforms? Wpf?
● Can you please start the App again under Win 11 and right after it crashed, please check the Event Viewer => Windows Protocols => Application, find the Entry, take a screenshot and attach it here as well.
● Can you also attach a Screenshot of the buildversion? CMD => Winver => Buildversion
● Could you attach a minimal version of the program where the issue occurs? Non protected, Protected and the settings file of Enigma. I am not talking about the real version i am talking about for example if you are using WPF, so that you provide a simple empty program with a Button that spawns a Messagebox if that one also crashes. If you are unable to create a minimal version that also crashes, please send an email with the real .exe file (Non protected, Protected and the settings file of Enigma) to support@enigmaprotector.com

What you can do so far is to deactivate this options. In case your application uses WinAPI, it might fix it. :


Hope your issue can be solved asap.
