Object spy crashes application

When I try to inspect the TCustomActionPopupMenuEx component in TestComplete using Object Spy, my application crashes. It works fine on Windows 10, but the issue occurs on Windows 11."

Hi Gane195. Are you able to find out what language and framework your application uses? Was it working before upgrading TC? Ensure your application is supported, check Supported Technologies and Applications.

It's not relating to the scripting language, VBScript. Your application is preventing Object Spy from looking at it's methods and properties. You'll need to liaise with your developers to try and diagnose the issue, SmartBear Support will be able to point you in the right direction.

    Hi rraghvani,
    It might be an issue with the latest version. Can I switch to an older version of TestComplete?
    I just realized that I started getting this error after upgrading to the latest version.
    I will check with the earlier version and see if the issue is replicated.

      There has been a number of issues with the latest version of TestComplete!

      You can download a previous version of TestComplete via the URL https://downloads.smartbear.com/TestComplete1577SLM.exe - just change the version number to an appropriate value.
