Your DllMain function runs inside the loader lock, one of the few times the OS lets you run code while one of its internal locks is held. This means that you must be extra careful not to violate a lock hierarchy in your DllMain; otherwise, you are asking for a deadlock.
The loader lock is taken by any function that needs to access the list of DLLs loaded into the process. This includes functions like GetModuleHandle and GetModuleFileName. If your DllMain enters a critical section or waits on a synchronization object, and that critical section or synchronization object is owned by some code that is in turn waiting for the loader lock, you just created a deadlock:
Loader refers to the OS (module) loader.Loader Lock is a system lock used by the loader to synchronize calls to DllMain.This way, the loader ensures that initialization / cleanup tasks required by DLLs are performed in a thread-safe manner.
(...) the operating system has its own internal process-specific lock that sometimes is held while your code executes. This lock is acquired when DLLs are loaded into the process, and is therefore called the 'loader lock.' The DllMain function always executes under the loader lock; (...)
I'm in the process of reorganizing some of the legacy libraries in our application which has unmanaged code calling into libraries of managed code. While I have the codereorganized, it produces the following loader error:
I believe 0xc0000018 error is an overlapping address range. So, I have two questions. First, what linker options may cause this error? I'm currently linking with /DYNAMICBASE:NO and /FIXED:No as this was how some of the previous libraries were set up.
Second, is there a way to turn on verbose mode for the loader so I can see what exactly it's trying to load? P9842 is a third party library so I imagine it is getting to one of my libraries after P9842 and failing on that one. Can I narrow it down? Thanks.
Don't know about the first question. A search for that status code hit this article with the interesting note that "Before XP there was no check in Windows for page mappings with different memory types. Windows XP does check though. A second memory type mapping attempt will fail with the STATUS_CONFLICTING_ADDRESSES (0xc0000018) error message." Might be relevant if you are using MapViewOfFile...
I know from past the major problem was when I removed Ubuntu, I either still got into the GRUB booting menu, or I couldn't boot at all, and had to format HDD and start over. Now I found an article practically saying the Windows loader should be back upon deleting Linux partition, so I want to make sure:
If I have Windows and Ubuntu dualboot, and I want to get back to Windows booting quickly itself without choosing from any booting menu, is it enough to just delete the Ubuntu partition? Will the Windows loader override GRUB?
This depends on whether your operating systems are installed in UEFI mode or Legacy mode.
(If your PC is manufactured in the last 5-6 years, and came pre-installed with an operating system, it will most likely be UEFI.)
There is a similar question that you can follow to check whether you are using Legacy or UEFI.
Note: Irrespective of which mode you install in, if you simply delete the Ubuntu partition, it won't make the Windows bootloader default automatically. You have to do it once, manually.
You'll most likely end up in a grub rescue prompt on the next boot. You'll need a bootable recovery disk (either Windows or Linux) to help you restore your Windows boot sector.
Here is a similar question that can help in this case.
You'll most likely end up in a GRUB command line prompt on the next boot, from where you'll have to boot to Windows and delete the GRUB EFI Firmware entry or change the order to put the Windows bootloader in the first place.
Here is a similar question that can help in this case.
Manually delete the GRUB EFI boot entry and/or set the Windows bootloader to the first position before you get rid of Ubuntu.
This answer to a similar question explains the process for deleting it in Windows.
Hi guys,
this is quite weird so I'd like to have some input from somebody who may have an idea.
Lately I removed my HDD for some minor cleaning of the laptop and after I put it back in, when I started the laptop I saw windows loader and grub completely bypassed.
I just restored grub by booting from arch usb and chrooting but I have no idea on why / how something like this may happen??
What bugs me is the Windows 7 loader. /dev/sda indeed had Windows 7 on it previously. However, my goal was to complete erase that. During install, I deleted the partition table and created two partitions on each drive for RAID 1. So now I got:

DisplayCAL (argyllcms) LUT loader can load calibration data to LUT at the highest precision available for that HW, so a video card with more that 8bit/entry LUTs and dithering at its output can show smooth gradients like a display with internal HW calibration.
2-There are apps, full screen apps mostly, that reset video card LUTs. DisplayCAL reloads periodically LUTs to ensure calibration is not reset to no calibration. There is no OS notification queue for such changes, if one app resets LUTs, DisplayCAL cannot notice it. Hence it reloads it periodically.
Say that my only goal with calibration/profile was to get Adobe Lightroom to display colors more accurately (since my monitor is Wide Gamut and colors look more vivid than what they really are). I use DisplayCAL to calibrate my monitor R/G/B controls and generate a color profile that I use to configure my OS settings for my single monitor. Lightroom will then ask the OS for color profiles and display colors more accurately.
Windows Loader is the application which is used by millions of people worldwide, well known for use through the Microsoft WAT (Windows activation technologies) and is for is tool activate Windows 7 the safest ever created. The application itself will put the SLIC (internal Code licensed system) into your system before Windows boot. This is what the fool Windows to think that it is genuine. Windows Loader: No doubt, the best way to pass the WAT (Windows activation technologies) is to activate the various Windows versions (namely Windows 7). This tool really made the method enabled accurate and cleanest and Windows not the same with the instrumental version was purchased.
