Hello.
I am experiencing Windows session crash when hit 64k limit of GDI handles.
After some investigation, I found steps of session crash.
1. When hitting the theoretical limit of GDI handles, DWM crashes.
2. Windows 8 tries to restart DWM.(and fail, of course).
3. After some fail to restart DWM, Windows 8 terminates entire windows session.
4. Windows back to logon screen and I lost all work.
In Windows 7, Windows does not try to restart DWM so I can close some windows and then restart DWM.
But in Windows 8, as steps I posted above, I can't avoid session crash/lost work.
As a result, I cant use Windows 8 for work.
I don't think increasing Windows global 64k GDI handle limit is possible,
despite it would be fundamental solution.
So, Is there any way Windows 8 to not try restart DWM when it crashes?
Or is there any other possible solution for this problem?
Sorry for my bad English.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
