I was debugging an application today where randomly my debugger exited with a really long exit code, and I was never able to continue the debug. I went back to gaming a bit, and after finishing up I enabled test signing mode, and rebooted. From there specific applications like visual studio (loads and just crashes without error), snagit (just crashes), Business Skype (crashes), do not start. I'm able to use Rider, Vivaldi, Slack, Discord, FortClient (but cannot connect to VPN), TotalCmd, Putty, WinScp just fine, which indicates that high level / low level apps seem to be running fine, where as some not.
With Rider, I'm getting CL.exe (compile and link) error as well, I'm not entirely sure what black magic is going on. Some installers also produce unexpected error messagebox.
I made a new local user and all the apps seem to start without an issue. Looks like something is corrupted in my account?
