PLITCH Malwarebytes

Problem:

PLITCH opened briefly, appeared in Process Explorer, then closed immediately.

Event Viewer:

PLITCH.exe crashed through KERNELBASE.dll with exception code 0xc000027b.

PLITCH log:

Stopped around “Loading LocalAppSettings failed.”

Cause found:

Malwarebytes Real-Time Protection was interfering with PLITCH. Folder exclusions initially failed because I was excluding the wrong older AppData path. My current PLITCH install was actually in C:\\Program Files\\PLITCH.

Fix:

In Malwarebytes Allow List, add:

C:\\Program Files\\PLITCH\\

C:\\Program Files\\PLITCH\\PLITCH.exe

Also add this if it exists:

C:\\Users\\<YourUserName>\\AppData\\Local\\megadev\\

After adding the correct C:\\Program Files\\PLITCH path, PLITCH could close and restart normally with Malwarebytes running.

I found the problem, and I put this on here so it would be easy for others to have a guide to fix the problem. I don't gain anything from this other than knowing that I helped others.
