I would temporarily un-install it. In the post link the user kyledj un-installed it and that was the remedy. My recommendation is shaped by our experience with ESET among our customer base. More than a few times we suspected ESET was getting in the way. We disabled it, and the problem remained. We un-installed it, the problem went away. Therefore I don't trust ESET's "disabled" to mean actually disabled completely. Perhaps part of it is, but not the part that counts.
I don't have the option of un-installing it at my company (group policy setting). Therefore I created an exception for my application.

I guess what I'm saying is, are you sure ESET is out of the picture? The failure mode is very telling at any rate. There are only a few things that can bring Windows to its knees as is happening here - one of these is a driver. ESET runs as a driver. I don't think libzmq could do this on its own.

But, I disabled it and still got the problem. However, I have noticed a further pattern. The first time I run it it runs for a little over 1000 iterations then gives the assertion failure and stops. The second time I run it I get almost the same behaviour but I get a couple of messages displayed AFTER the assertion failure. The third time I run it it processes 70 or so messages then hard locks my PC.

I am using the NUGET package in a Windows service project built with VS 2010. It may freeze with no keyboard and mouse control and you must perform a power button shutdown. Alternatively it may slow down the UI greatly, when this happens task manager will reveal that the process 'ekrn.exe' (this is ESET) is taking 50% of cpu resources, but Windows behaves like it is taking 99%. I found this post that pointed me in the direction of antivirus, ESET in my case. https://github.com/zeromq/pyzmq/issues/160 If you are using ESET antivirus or some other antivirus make an exception for your executable. In ESET it is found under Advanced setup > Antivirus and antispyware > Exclusions. Add the path to your executable. - Steve -----Original Message----- I've been trying to write a broker using ZMQ and found that it would occasionally lock my PC totally, requiring a power-off as the usual Ctrl-Alt-Del etc, and even a shutdown request by pressing the power button did nothing. _______________________________________________ zeromq-dev mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> http://lists.zeromq.org/mailman/listinfo/zeromq-dev _______________________________________________ zeromq-dev mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> http://lists.zeromq.org/mailman/listinfo/zeromq-dev
