This morning some of my clients contact me reporting that my application wasn't starting (from night to day).
After trying some things I noted a bizarre behavior:
My application only starts if I pass some random argument to it.
SEE THE BUG IN THIS ANIMATED GIF
The SO is a Windows 10 PRO: Microsoft Windows [versão 10.0.17763.805]
Another bizarre thing is that the Windows doesn't generate events logs about the behavior.
In other environments this doesn't occurs (other Win10 PRO, Win7, etc), it isn't a default behavior (bizarre too).
Some customers related the simple fact of "restarting" the computer has fixed the issue.
I'm in dark with this, someone has any idea?

Windows 10 build 10.0.11763.805 does not exist. – Ramhound – 2019-10-18T13:12:38.133
1If you create a completely new program from scratch with nothing in it, just a simple "hello world" program, does that have the same behavior? If not, then there is something in your code wrong and this is something for StackOverflow. – LPChip – 2019-10-18T13:14:45.553
This issue is a problem with the software itself. – Ramhound – 2019-10-18T13:15:00.427
@Ramhound likely yes, but not necessarily. We have to rule it out first. – LPChip – 2019-10-18T13:15:39.657
@LPChip why to do this? Some windows 10 builds my program works, and other not. This starts to happen from night to day, this is why I'm so frustrated. – Beto Neto – 2019-10-18T13:54:27.747
@Ramhound this version info I got running the command "ver" in command prompt. So, I think it exists! – Beto Neto – 2019-10-18T13:55:22.823
1@BetoNeto You have a problem that is pretty broad. In order to find out where things go wrong, you need to narrow it down. – LPChip – 2019-10-18T14:03:54.863
@Ramhound, sorry, the windows version was wrong... the correct one is Microsoft Windows [versão 10.0.17763.805] – Beto Neto – 2019-10-18T14:38:40.490
That Animated
.GIFThingy does not show the whole screen. What are exactly the Error Messages that it produces? – None – 2019-10-18T21:28:50.507@BetoNeto - I knew it didn’t exist, I also knew what version you meant, I check the Windows 10 update history (how I knew) – Ramhound – 2019-10-19T04:04:55.240
@DOBRESCU_Mihai there is no error message, the program simply doesn't starts... no message, no windows events registration... nothing! – Beto Neto – 2019-10-21T12:08:06.697
@LPChip a simple "hello world" works.... but the problem is that my program uses so many features of delphi 7 framework and also a LOT of lines in my program... I'll try the get an environment and install the IDE and try to debug it to find out what is happening... – Beto Neto – 2019-10-21T12:11:31.563
In any case, given that Hello World works, makes that this question does not belong on SuperUser, because it appears to be a programming question. You may want to try Stack Overflow. – LPChip – 2019-10-21T12:13:53.050
Why should there be any kind of registrations of any kind of events? It probably does not get there. I agree with LPChip. Does the
"Hello, World?"Tiny Little Program interact through events with the MicroSoft Windows Operating System? I doubt it. Just debug your Program. I thoroughly understand your frustration and your temptation to blame the MicroSoft Windows Operating System for absolutely everything that is happening nowadays under the Sun, but then again - it is just an Operating System. – None – 2019-10-21T13:52:42.577@LPChip this morning I got access to one of this environments, and I have installed the Delphi 7 to debug it and I do not get the problem anymore. And now, after uninstall the IDE, the program starts to work correctly (bizarre). – Beto Neto – 2019-10-21T17:17:26.503
So its missing some dependencies. Is there a Delphi runtime library? If so, you need to install it, similar to Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 Runtime. – LPChip – 2019-10-21T19:04:14.240
