Windows 10: System Detected Stack-Based Buffer Overrun

Hi guys, having some trouble here.

I cannot find a solution, I've tried everything I can think of to no avail.

One of the games I play seems to have become corrupted and caused a crash. Now it won't launch at all. That is not the main problem.


The PC refuses to uninstall it. I went through Control Panel, selected Uninstall, and it just wouldn't. It's as if I haven't even clicked the button. It doesn't do anything.

I attempted to open Apps through Windows Key - Settings - Apps, but the window closed automatically before displaying anything.

I restarted in Safe Mode to see if that revealed anything, I went to Apps again and it told me the system detected Stack-Based Buffer Overrun.

The page at https://windowsreport.com/stack-based-buffer-application-overrun/ suggested the following:




Solution 1 – Scan for malware

It suggests running in Safe Mode before running Windows Defender from the notifications bar, but the bar won't open in safe mode.


Solution 2 – Run SFC/DISM

It won't complete sfc /scannow, or either of the DISM/.../ScanHealth or /RestoreHealth operations

Solution 3 – Perform a clean boot sequence
As far as I can tell, it completed the clean boot, but it accomplished nothing


Solution 4 – Repair with system resourcesIt suggests either System Restore or Startup Repair. Naturally I don't have any restore points, and startup repair wouldn't work.


Solution 5 – Repair with a bootable driveThe Media Creation Tool I made only a few months ago won't run, either when I plug the USB into the computer having booted, with the error message being "A device attached to the system is not functioning"; or when I boot with the drive already in. It says to select "Startup repair" with the drive attached. I got as far as a menu showing the different hard drives and asking which one I wanted to install it in, but none of them were compatible.


Solution 6 -Reinstall Windows 10

Honestly don't know what their article is talking about. Something about Technical Preview? The first step is to Start the device in the latest Windows 10 Technical Preview build.


I also tried Resetting the PC but after about 40 minutes it said it ran into an issue and couldn't do it. I have several Windows updates queued but they won't install.


I'm honestly at my wits' end here. Everything is like hitting a brick wall.


Thanks,

Adam

LogonUI.exe : the system detected an overrun of a stack-based buffer

i got this recently "logonui.exe the system detected an overrun of a stack-based buffer" may you explain why that error happened?

 

Help with this? 'The system detected an overrun of a stack-based...'

On a Windows 10 desktop today there was this error message...

“The system detected an overrun of a stack-based buffer in this application. This overrun could potentially allow a malicious user to gain control of this application“

Any suggestion as to what the problem is and how to rectify the problem?

 

System reports "detected an overrun of a stack-based buffer" in iexplorer

We ran into a system alert box (screenshot as below) complaining "an overrun of a stack-based buffer" in iexplorer randomly.





The OS is Windows Server 2019 and is in zh-CN language. The error message can be translated as "The system detected an overrun of a stack-based
buffer in this application. This overrun could potentially allow a malicious user to gain control of this application".

Iexplorer looks functioning normal after dismissing the alert, but it's really annoying to our users.

Anyone can help with

1) why this happens? how can it be fixed?

2) if it's a but from IE or system, how can we avoid this alert?

3) is it possible to disable system from prompting this kind of alert?

Thanks for any suggestions or hints.
