FWH-applications on Windows 2016 servers

[driessen]

Hello,

Recently I experience some problems running my FWH-applications on Windows 2016 servers.
It is not an easy problem since the problem is not occuring on every server.

What happens : without any indication, the application just hangs. The only thing the user can do quitting the application in the task manager.

Is this a known problem?
Does anyone know what can be done about it?

Thank you very much for any help.

This is surprising. We would request experiences of other users of Windows 2016 servers.

Hello Michel,
I also asked my friend who is using WINHOTEL (POWERUSER!!!) on a 2016 SERVER. He uses like me here 2016 as a Host Server and a virtualized 2016 for WINHOTEL. All is working better as on every other server before.

Best regards
Otto

Thank you all for your replies.

Otto,

I also have customers, using a Windows 2016 server, that don't experience any problem.
There are only a few cases in which the problem occurs.
I don't know why it happens. No idea at all.
But it is ver enoying.

As a 2016 server operator with accumulated experience so that comes to me only one obstacle that could be: Printer drivers, these had annoyed me the most during my 2016 installation and took some time to use B…. drivers for M…… ... Had recently purchased Me… of the latest generation, commissioning was not possible because about every fifth receipt was not printed - I will buy no M… more, which have only Windows 10 drivers.
