Yes, Thank you for jumping in on this issue. It really helps to have some information or possible fixes. I did run CCleaner twice today ... I'm not saying that CCleaner had anything to do about this re-registering. But it seems to me that it might? I should also mention that I do have VS listed in %Temp% folder and the ProgramData I'll also wait for Dan..
Not a good idea to save the token (or files which are continuously needed) into a temporary folder. Sooner or later files wil be deleted in this folder. But i guess this will be fixed in a newer version.
[QUOTE="VecchioScarpone, post: 2716799, member: 147481 From my errors and trials I deduct that CCleaner as nothing to do with this issue.[/QUOTE] I haven't tested this conclusively, but I tend to agree with you. I think I have had to re-register (and move the shield) even when not running CCleaner, two machines.
There has being a little bit of brains storming here and in MT this past day or two. Hopefully Dan gets enough feeback to iron up 4.09.
He does, I caught him a couple of time. He keeps himself posted on what it is discussed here, but as he wrote on MT he will only post there. I respect that, though I sympathize with VS users here that are depending on second hand news because of that.
What choice we have but keep investigating. No issue the past three days, but I completely nuked any VS trace from my computer yesterday. Made a clean install, token.json registered in temp folder at 6.30 pm. CCleaner set to delete temp files every 24 hours by default. In a couple of hours I'll check. If it does delete the token I'll try disabling the delete temp files, not sure CCleaner will let me change the default time. Deselecting the option below will delete temp files as soon as you hit run CCleaner, or whenever it is scheduled to run.
Dan needs to find the root cause. IIRC we had this before in v4, and he fixed it, but it got 'unfixed' again in the latest betas.
BTW Yesterday I did run Windows Disk Cleanup own tool set to delete temp files but it did not delete token.json.
I had just booted up a few minutes ago, and I got black CMD popup flash, but it stayed long enough to read. It read - cmd.exe. I checked and found this in VS command lines: c:\windows\system32\rundll32.exe shell32.dll,shcreatelocalserverrundll {c82192ee-6cb5-4bc0-9ef0-fb818773790a} -embedding I hope it is safe, because I don't understand what it means.
Here is beta 412 w/a fix for modes saving: https://malwaretips.com/threads/voodooshield-discussion.63827/page-78#post-690730
