Procmon is not going to show you what took place inside the exe when it got the exit message. The message itself came from the kernel and because it was a windowed application, it recieved a WM_QUIT message in it's message queue and the application did what it was told. In the case of notepad, technically, you could watch the window messages using spy++ and see this behavior but I don't understand the point of this exercise. You have me intrigued. Perhaps someone has better info.– Señor CMasMasCommented Jun 12, 2023 at 2:16

This is a simplified scenario of my actual problem. I have installed an application. When I start it, it runs, and I can even see its splash windows. But after that, it exits immediately. I suspect it's one of the program on my computer killed it, but I don't have proof.– Fajela TajkiyaCommented Jun 12, 2023 at 3:24

1You might be able to create the right filters within procmon to see this behavior by watching what took place when. If you know how to use a proper debugger, you might also be able to debug when the WM_QUIT message comes in a debug the stack. This will be difficult but do-able.– Señor CMasMasCommented Jun 12, 2023 at 3:39

The common way is to install the software in a clean environment, e.g. a new Windows VM. Then you will see if it works or not. Or you use you current Windows and step-by-step close all applications and disable all services.– RobertCommented Sep 18, 2023 at 13:26

@Robert It's not possible in my case. The software is a commercial one, and it's heavily tested on all supported OSs. The issue only happened on my laptop. I'm sure it will work in clean VMs.– Fajela TajkiyaCommented Sep 19, 2023 at 9:22

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. windows-7), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
