ToastNotify.dll error At System Shutdown

[itman 1,659]

Eset SS ver 8 .319, Win 10.

 

Just upgraded to Win 10. Been getting the below error at shutdown/restart ever since the upgrade. Noticed there was a thread on this issue back in Feb. w/no resolution as far as I can determine. I believe that posting was for ver. 9.

 

Appears to be a memory violation.

have you tried to export the settings of the application and then use the eset removal tool, to completely remove ESS and reinstall it again, and after that import the settings?

I re-read the old Eset thread on this issue. Appears Eset never intended to fix the issue in ver. 9 rel. .319. Issue isn't causing me any issues that I can observe other than generating the event log entry.

 

I will probably try to upgrade(again) to ver.9 now that I am on Win 10 and I have simplified my HIPS rules. However ver. 9 is so buggy, it will take me some time to get the courage to try it again.
