Random graphics corruption in a WPF app

See original GitHub issue

.NET Core Version: 3.19
Windows version: 19042.630
Does the bug reproduce also in WPF for .NET Framework 4.8?: Yes

Problem description:

Graphics randomly get corrupted in our application with no clue why. It takes different forms:

no text on button:
menu offset:
Wrong color used (as if the theme does not get applied anymore)
Icons disappear

All those problems tend to happen at the same time.

When the corruption appears:

We have no WPF errors (coming from PresentationTraceSources)
Memory is ok
Handles count is ok
We can’t “snoop” the application, the visual tree is just empty 😶

As the problem is quite tricky, I’m looking more for advice or debugging techniques I’m not aware of that could help me go deeper in the investigation.

Some additional info:

We use https://github.com/MaterialDesignInXAML/MaterialDesignInXamlToolkit/ and Prism
Refreshing the view is sometimes enough (no need to restart the application)
Only a fraction of our users have the issue
At some point I had a very clear repro on my computer that involved filtering a virtualized collection view with live shaping. And it just stopped happening with no apparent reason. I’m not sure if it’s related but it’s woth mentioning.

Thanks !

The original issue in this thread may have actually been linked to another software on the issue creators system, refer to #707, The regression that windows kb updates has introduced is specifically regarding that third party injection where a mechanism introduced in later versions of nahimic osd dll’s is no longer working.

Thank you for referring me that that issue! I was having the same issue but I didn’t know how to name it. I have stopped the NahimicService and the bug is gone ❤️

wow thank you! This fixed my issue too.

This issue is antagonised by Windows updates, KB5004945 has introduced the same thing among a number of our users, but not others.

Matching those users resolution, depth, hdr and theme settings is not finding anything. users are running the same display driver as others that aren’t affected.
