Dolphin crashes the aero interface on Windows 7

VladimirVSC · 05-14-2019, 08:44 PM #1

As it was said in the topic, nearly every time entering window or fullscreen mode or stopping the emulation the aero crashes permanently untill the system restart. Was tested on revision 10200 and much earlier one (don't remember which one exactly) and the result was the same.
VisualC++ installed, graphic driver is the latest. What can it be? There was not such an issue on 5.0 version. Sorry for the grammar.

Do you have all the Windows Updates installed?
Have you run the DirectX Web Installer?

DirectX is the latest. Is there some certain windows update required? I have nearly 240 updates installed.

At the very least Windows 7 Service Pack 1 is required. As for the others, I can't say specifically, but if you're up to date you should be ok.
Does this happen on the latest 5.0 dev build of Dolphin?

Alright... Just tested some revisions of different periods from 5xxx to 7xxx. 5084 - 7022 seems to be working good. The problem was noticed in 7277 and maybe earlier. The screen transition between windowed and fullscreen mode became a bit sluggish (nearly a second) and can cause the aero breaking, while in the tested revision before 7100 the transition works immediately.
