Can confirm this is happening:

[istanleyyaw]

same issue.

[localhorst]

Issue still exists on Windows 10 and Rocket.Chat+ Version 1.3.1

[adesimonepeak6]

Same here, using version 1.3.1 and 0.35 backend

[rockneverdies55]

Can replicate in my ubuntu box. Only happens in windows 7 for me.

[alkovpro]

Did anyone solve this? (I'm on windows 10)

[seerl]

... same here. annoying.
Windows 10, version 1.3.1, 0.42 server

Any suggestions?

[dcbell]

Just installed a brand new rocket.chat server and I'm seeing this on my Windows 10 machine I'm testing on.

[aliozgur]

Same here

[apomes]

I had the same issue on my machine (Windows 10, McAfee antivirus installed) running the Rocket.Chat client 1.3.1-nogputest. Turning off McAfee's real-time analysis fixed the problem.

[aliozgur]

Agreed McAfee is the culprint

[theoryshaw]

McAfee confirmed.

I do not have McAfee on my machine, so that can't be the sole issue. FYI, just upgraded to desktop agent 2.0.2 on Windows 10 and I'm still seeing the issue.

[graywolf336]

Can you share a screenshot of the error that is happening now?

Here is a screenshot. I tried disabling Kaspersky and that did not resolve the issue.

[engelgabriel]

Can you guys please test with the version 2.2.0?

[theoryshaw]

Windows 10
Mcafee Installed

[dcbell]

Same error after updating to 2.2.0.

[engelgabriel]

Guys,

On McAfee, if allowed for following file to be excluded do you still have this issue?

C:\Users\*\AppData\Roaming\Rocket.Chat+\window-state-main.json

[engelgabriel]

@rodrigok is window-state-main.json used to save the sate of the window?
Maybe we are writing too many time and to fast to it?
Can we Debounce the write function?

[graywolf336]

Would someone mind testing the build from the result of the pull request? Let us know if you're still having issues with McAfee and Rocket.Chat?

https://ci.appveyor.com/api/buildjobs/2tojs8hrcqkf6e3w/artifacts/dist%2FRocket.Chat%2B%20Setup%202.2.1.exe

[dcbell]

Just to be clear, I'm having that issue and I do not run McAfee. We run Kaspersky here.

[graywolf336]

@dcbell Okay, mind trying the build I linked to above as well?

[theoryshaw]

Bingo

[graywolf336]

So it works now?

Yes, It seems to.

[dcbell]

@graywolf336 Working on my machine now as well.

[graywolf336]

@theoryshaw and @dcbell Awesome, thanks for reporting back!

[fndos]

Use git init from git bash on your main GitHub directory

[LootDigger]

have the same trouble. Windows 8

[tassoevan]

@LootDigger Can you please share the error shown in the dialog?

[Jabark]

This problem appears to have reared it's ugly head again, we have McAfeee running too.

[mikhey]

I just started getting this error message after 2.13.2 installed for just my user account on my Windows 7 workstation. The previous version was installed at ~\AppData\Local\Programs\Rocket.Chat the new version installed at ~\AppData\Local\Programs\Rocket.Chat+. Out of curiosity renamed the old Rocket.Chat folder to Rocket.Chat.Old then removed the + on the new folder.

I ran the new install from the renamed folder: ~\AppData\Local\Programs\Rocket.Chat and I didn't receive the error on startup or when moving/resizing the window.

Could the + in the Rocket.Chat.exe path be the cause of this or cause McAfee to throw a false positive?

[tomkralidis]

I'm having the same issue on 2.13.2 on Windows 10.

[tassoevan]

@tomkralidis Can you verify if 2.13.3-beta.1 has this issue?

[tomkralidis]

@tassoevan installing 2.13.3-beta1 fixes this issue for me.

[Sabnock01]

I've just gotten this issue today. And I don't run McAfee. It does this whenever I try to open the desktop app. It always worked fine before. I don't know what changed about my system.
