STVD weird behavior and debug context crash

gabs
Associate II

After many years without problems, now my STVD is acting weird.

It shows different behaviors running as user and admin

  • As user:

The Open Workspace file selector pup-up file type is set to show only .exe files (it should be .stw files)

When I start debugging it compiles, hangs on Restoring context message on the small Loading... pop-up, after some seconds shows not responding on window title and crash. Note that the main windows title shows some GDI error message

  • As admin:

The Open Workspace pop-up is ok

When I start debugging an error message pops-up "Connection error (usb://usb): gdi-error [40201]: can't access configuration database"

I've tried so far:

  1. Reinstalled STVD at another drive besides C:
  2. Move the workspace and project files to another drive (the same where STVD is installed)
  3. Reinstalled st-link drivers
  4. Checked if STVP is working fine. It is.
  5. Tried a new user space in windows
  6. Tried to create a new project
  7. Deleted some obvious registry entries related to STVD (after uninstalling it)
  8. Checked for windows (running on Win10 22H2) and drivers updates

Hardware info:

Dell G3 laptop running Windows 10 22H2

STM8S003K3 MCU

ST-Link V2

COSMIC Compiler 

Any help is very appreciated.
