Qv.exe appcrash

gandalfgray — Mon, 26 Jan 2026 18:19:17 GMT

This applies to QV version 11.20.12235.0 (11.20.SR5) on a 64bit server.

I have a recurring problem where certain qvw files crashes at startup.

They are set to reload using a command file called by the windows scheduler at a specific time.

There is nothing wrong with the qvw:s or command files per se, since if I start any of the command files manually, or opens the qvw:s and runs them interactively, they do not crash.

When I recently changed the time they should be started by the scheduler they also did not crash.

The qvw is set to generate log file, which it normally does, but when the crashes occur no log file is created.

Has anyone else experienced something similar? If so, did you find the cause of the crashes and a solution?

/gg

Errors are logged in the Windows event logs, they normally shows the statuscode 0x40000015 (which means STATUS_FATAL_APP_EXIT) or in a few cases 0xc0000005 (which means EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION)

I get the same thing with both QV version 11.20 and 11.0. on Windows 7 64 bit.

Anyone has a solution for this?

Hi Kalypzo1

I am suspecting that this is happening for me when the amount of available free RAM is too low.

Could that be a possible cause in your case also?

I don't think it is a RAM issue as my system currently has 16GB of RAM and that should be more than enough.

I have tried running a few other qvw files and some work some don't but I cannot find a pattern. Anyone else experiencing this issue?

Monitor RAM usage when you run these reloads via taskmanager, to verify that it´s not a resource issue.

I guess you only run 1 reload at the time?

Also, can you check windows event log to identify any errors

Hi Andreas,

The memory seems ok so far, it says 22% to 30% used memory while it’s reloading data. I usually only run one reload at the time.

Here is the windows event log information:

Hi Andreas,

The program also sometimes just hangs and doesn’t load anything or uses any memory, but the Elapsed time keeps counting up even though it is not loading anything.

Jazmin

Did you try to solve this error?

If yes, how?

Thanks!

Hi Gandalf,

How long it takes to update your document? How often are you updating your document?

Hi Lisandro,

I "solved" it by removing other concurrent qvw-processing.

The problem has not recurred since.

So I guess it is due to lack of memory.

I still have another problem where some batch executed qvw:s (qv.exe /r /NoSecurity) finish their processing (according to the logfile, and stored qvd files) but sometimes fail to exit

I know it's a long time from 2014 until today, but maybe someone might find it useful.

I also experienced "hanging" processes when running reload processes from the command line (cmd / r) with multiple processes simultaneously.

After a very long discussion with Qlik Support, I found myself a workaround (about which Qlik Support said they could not recommend it) : blocking access to the registry key [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\QlikTech]. Full deny on the Windows user that starts cmd process. This solved our problem.

Hi Mihai!

Thanks for your tip!

Interesting, I will try this at some time.

Is blocking access to the registry key done by checking the "Deny" boxes?

Re: Qv.exe appcrash

mongolu — Wed, 03 Aug 2016 10:29:46 GMT

Yes, by checking the deny boxes.

We've done this step (workaround) in late 2013. Since then we didn't experience this problem anymore and didn't notice any side effects.

gandalfgray — Wed, 03 Aug 2016 10:34:57 GMT

OK, thanks!

btw what version are you on?

Re: Qv.exe appcrash

mongolu — Wed, 03 Aug 2016 10:59:03 GMT

11.2 SR 8

Re: Qv.exe appcrash

gandalfgray — Fri, 05 Aug 2016 06:18:59 GMT

Ok Thanks, I am on 12.0.2 nowadays.

I got a swarm of these crashes this night , I will apply your fix Mihai, and see what happens!

Re: Qv.exe appcrash

mongolu — Wed, 10 Aug 2016 14:11:34 GMT

Did it solved your problem?

Re: Qv.exe appcrash

gandalfgray — Wed, 10 Aug 2016 14:25:55 GMT

It is a bit hard to say yet.

There has been no crashes since I applied the fix, and I have not seen any negative side effects,

but sometimes it has been several weeks between the errors.

Often they have occurred the first week of the month.

So if I still have no crashes after first week of september, I wil mark your answer as correct!

Yesterday morning a series of QV-applications crashed, so unfortunately the Mihai-fix did not work for us !
