    Hanging Application - Wait Chain Question


    Hello,I have a video application called Cyberlink PowerDirector.Recently, when I try to do edits - it hangs. I checked the details and noticed the 'analyze wait chain'.Would someone give me an answer as to what this is doing?Thread 6482 PDR.exe is the one hanging in the task manager.Thread 12564 is present in the process details with no error.And in this situation, anything I can do to recover?Currently I have to tell Windows to kill the process. While I do have autosave on, it is always a little behind so I have to repeat workI realize this is not a lot of info, but more curious as to what

    :)

    How to auto create a dump of a process when a wait chain is stuck for more than x seconds?

    When a process hangs temporarily and resource monitor/task manager show there is something stuck in the wait chain, I can

    1. use for example Process Explorer to create a dump of it
    2. open WinDbg and run !analyze -v -hang to see which thread was responsible for >3 seconds wait chain.

    But I can't do it fast enough to catch a dump while the short lived wait chain is waiting.

    I looked at ProcDump but it doesn't seem to be possible to do an auto dump when a wait chain is stuck for more than 3 seconds.

    WhatIsHang doesn't even list the process I want to monitor (Slack)

    In Windows 10 x64 Pro (1607), how to auto create a dump of a process when a wait chain is stuck for more than x seconds?

    Explorer.exe and Wait Chain Traversal

    Ive been using my desktop for around 3 years now. It has a nvme ssd. The problem is that when i open my explorer.exe (file manager) my file manager just simply stops working, i can not insert a screen shot as my explorer wouldnt open. From what i see from
    resource monitor, explorer.exe is waiting on searchindexer.exe for alot of Wait Chain Traversal. Im new to looking into problems, i want to know if the problem is caused by my c drive? or does my computer have a problem?
