Visual studio XAML designer crashes when DL docking station is connected

Pysco68 · 08-28-2016, 09:48 AM

Hello,

I'm facing a weird issue with Microsoft Visual Studio's XAML Designer crashing under certain circumstances.

Here are the conditions:
- DisplayLink Docking Station connected
- Opening XAML Designer in VS 2015 (with all updates) Windows UAP/UWP Project (empty project)

When I disconnect the docking station all comes back to normal. When I then reconnect the docking station the designer keeps working until it is reloaded.

I'll upload the files from the support tool and the event log errors I get in a minute.

Hi!

Same problem is here.. I'm pulling my hair out.

After 1607, my computer lags, unstable, freeze sometime, WHEN I connected to my Dell D3100.

I replaced/reinstalled everything, and mostly I can accept this "preview" state, but...

I started developing a new UWP application to my company, and I CANNOT DO MY WORK when I docked. I have to design without docking station.

It's drive me crazy.

The errors exactly the same.

One more thing. If I started the XAML designer without the dock, xaml designer working fine, and connect to the dock, i can continue my work till I close the editor. After it the problem comes to live.

What a stupid upgrade. Same with 8.0 M0 and M2 DL drivers.

Pysco68 · 09-01-2016, 02:24 PM

I am / was in the same situation where I couldn't work on my client's app (because of the dock!?!), so I went the entrepreneur's route and went buying another docking station (lucky me having the option to use a Thunderbolt3 docking station) the problems are gone for me. My conclusion: USB docks are as crappy as I was warned *sad*

Btw., if you own a Dell XPS13/15 with the TB3 port, you can fearlessly go an buy the relatively cheap HP TB3 dock (everything besides the "remote power switch" on the dock works)

Greetings from germany!

Btw. If DisplayLink wants me to try any available fix I might take the time to do so. But two days no answer is disapointing...

Hamurabi · 09-01-2016, 02:32 PM

I'm using a Lenovo T460P wich is a very interesing, and not a cheap model. I bought it a month ago. I don't know if it has TB port or not, but i'll check it.

But. EVERYTHING worked fine before 1607 and with DL 7.9.

Greetings from Hungary!

AlbanRampon · 09-02-2016, 11:37 AM

Psyco, this is a forum. You should have created a support ticket as flagged everywhere in this forum...
This issue has been reported to Microsoft under Sysdev bug 8742480. The anniversary update has a new graphics subsystem and we are using standard Windows feature now.
I don't know if being insulting is your usual way of doing business but being frustrated doesn't mean you must be unprofessional.

Microsoft does not recommend Windows 10 Anniversary Update for business and probably won't be before December.
Microsoft Current Branch for Business (CBB) is v1511.

I will post here if Microsoft needs more information to investigate this crash.

ckruhs · 09-05-2016, 10:51 AM

Same problem here!
There was no problem with the Designer before Anniversary Update.
Now I have to unplug the Dock to get the UWP XAML Designer to work.

Configuration:
- Win10 Anniversary Update (1607 OS Build 14393.0)
- VS2015 Update 3
- DELL XPS15 with Dock Dell D3100

Exception:

Hello Alban,

sorry for being rude, that was by no mean my intention. Regarding your advices, sadly, the downgrade route is no option for many of us, especially when clients want new anniversary update APIs used in their apps (especially the Cortana and HoloLens stuff).

I was really desperate about my dev env not working the way I expected it and lost nearly two weeks (including reinstalling the box as a last resort which did not work out) to that, which really is bad.

As I said, if you need my help I'll be happy to help you guys.

After 1607, my computer lags, unstable, freeze sometime, WHEN I connected to my Dell D3100. I replaced/reinstalled everything, and mostly I can accept this "preview" state, but... I started developing a new UWP application to my company, and I CANNOT DO MY WORK when I docked. I have to design without docking station. It's drive me crazy. The errors exactly the same. One more thing. If I started the XAML designer without the dock, xaml designer working fine, and connect to the dock, i can continue my work till I close the editor. After it the problem comes to live. What a stupid upgrade. Same with 8.0 M0 and M2 DL drivers.

My conclusion: USB docks are as crappy as I was warned sad Btw., if you own a Dell XPS13/15 with the TB3 port, you can fearlessly go an buy the relatively cheap HP TB3 dock (everything besides the "remote power switch" on the dock works) Greetings from germany! Btw. If DisplayLink wants me to try any available fix I might take the time to do so. But two days no answer is disapointing...

This issue has been reported to Microsoft under Sysdev bug 8742480. The anniversary update has a new graphics subsystem and we are using standard Windows feature now. I don't know if being insulting is your usual way of doing business but being frustrated doesn't mean you must be unprofessional. Microsoft does not recommend Windows 10 Anniversary Update for business and probably won't be before December. Microsoft Current Branch for Business (CBB) is v1511. I will post here if Microsoft needs more information to investigate this crash. __________________ Alban Rampon Senior product manager, universal docking stations and accessories "DisplayLink is proud to be a Synaptics brand."

Regarding your advices, sadly, the downgrade route is no option for many of us, especially when clients want new anniversary update APIs used in their apps (especially the Cortana and HoloLens stuff). I was really desperate about my dev env not working the way I expected it and lost nearly two weeks (including reinstalling the box as a last resort which did not work out) to that, which really is bad. As I said, if you need my help I'll be happy to help you guys.
