Samsung Sidesync Event ID 78

Samsung Sidesync keeps crashing on my Computer with a conflicting components error. In Event Viewer it is Source: SideBySide and Event ID 78. Tried Uninstalling and Reinstalling on both computer and phone. Also did a rollback on an Windows 10 Insider. It also gives me the same error on my Laptop. Any help would be appreciated.

Odd crash

Check System Error Log; Contoll Panel > Administrative tools > Event Viewer, then either "System" or "Application". Look for an Error that ocurred around the correct time for your last crash. Then post the error.

 

Programs/games frequently hang and crash.

Hi

Thanks for your reply.

Yes, the Event Viewer logs can provide useful insights into what might be causing your application to crash. However, interpreting the logs can sometimes be complex as it may involve understanding system or application-level details.

Here are the steps to view detailed information about the crash in Event Viewer:

1. Press the Windows key + X and select Event Viewer.
   
2. On the left pane, expand 'Windows Logs' and click on 'Application'.
   
3. Look for the error logs related to your game crash. They should be marked as 'Error' under the 'Level' column.
   
4. Once you find the error log, click on it to view the details.
   

The details will generally include the name of the faulty application (in your case, the game), the time of the crash, the path of the faulty module, and possibly an error code.

If you see any error codes, you can try searching for them online to get a better understanding of the problem.
