1) Antivirus. I ve seen it before, the AV removes the exe before it can run. (some av do that without asking, even if they are set to ask first). The list of AV is always changing, as they get updated and may stop doing so.
I don't use antivirus, if you don't count WDefender as antivirus. As on W10 we can't let it disabled, so, now I use an antivirus. Anyway, he isn't removing any file.
2) Can you find and run the exe outside the IDE?
Yes, I'm using a lot of ShowMessage to debug...
3) which lazarus? 1.4 (32bit ?).x or 1.6 (32 or 64 bit?)
For 1.4 (32 bit) try download the alternative gdb 7.7.1 from our sourceforge site. 1.6 already has that.
It's heappening since 1.4.2. I always use 32bit. On Laz 1.6RC1 the problem still lives...
4) name of directory in which you saved the project, and where the exe is. For testing use a folder without spaces or accents.... (in the entire path, so no "documents and settings". Use C:\mytest
Well, I'm thinking about special chars on path now. Old projects that has special chars on path worked fine on past but now they don't work. Spaces never was a problem, maybe now? Another thing to think about is that my projects are store on Onedrive's and Google Drive's folder.

Hi,
I got a problem that seems more related to Windows than Lazarus itself.
I simply can debug an application.
I'm using a notebook that cames with Windows 8. I've updated to W8.1 and to W10. After updating to W8.1, if I run a project via F9 key, I always get that message ('Hit stop and hope the best, we're pulling the plug', 'Failed to load application executable')
I thought updating lazarus should help but I got no success.
It heappens with all projects.
Is there a way check what is heappening?
