Good day.
I hope you can make this thread "unresolved" again. This is still happening...
I updated my Intel i219-v drivers this week from PROWin_v22.1 (driver version 12.15.23.9) to Intel-LAN-22.4.16.0-RS2-20170718.zip which I found on Asus Website (driver version 12.15.25.6). Immediately WMIPRVSE started crashing. I have User-Mode dumps enabled, and after this release I see about 5 dumps a day - I can FTP somewhere if you accept dumps. CoreAgnt.dll is version 22.4.14.0. The Windows Error Reporting Service records this:
Faulting Application Path: C:\Windows\System32\wbem\WmiPrvSE.exe
Problem Event Name: BEX64
Application Name: wmiprvse.exe
Application Version: 6.3.9600.16406
Application Timestamp: 5244fd73
Fault Module Name: CoreAgnt.dll_unloaded
Fault Module Version: 0.0.0.0
Fault Module Timestamp: 58fe61c5
Exception Offset: 000007fee4197e88
Exception Code: c0000005
Exception Data: 0000000000000008
When I discovered this I went back to Intel and discovered a new release, so I installed PROWin_v22.6. The CoreAgnt.dll version increased to 22.6.6.0 but it was still crashing.
I downgraded back to PROWin_v22.1 and the problem is gone.
The release notes between 22.1 and 22.6 only speak of enabling ultra low power mode, so according to them I am not missing much. But some bugs were probably corrected, so I would LIKE to be able to use the latest drivers. Features like Large Send Offload are especially problematic and might've seen a few improvements between releases.
When I look in WinDbg I see this:
BUGCHECK_STR: APPLICATION_FAULT_BAD_INSTRUCTION_PTR_SOFTWARE_NX_FAULT_INVALID
PRIMARY_PROBLEM_CLASS: BAD_INSTRUCTION_PTR_INVALID
I see NX there; maybe this is related to the fact that I have NoExecute (DEP) enabled for all processes, rather than the Opt-In which is the default? I'm not really in the mood to reInstall the latest drivers, disable DEP and let the machine sit for a day just to see if DEP is the issue - CoreAgnt.dll should not be causing DEP issues...
Thank you.
Best Regards,
