ConEmu: Unable to launch Bash on Ubuntu on Windows on Windows Insider Build 15002

Versions

ConEmu build: 161206 x64 OS version: Windows 10 Pro x64 Insider Preview 15002.rs_prerelease.170102-1700 Used shell version (Far Manager, git-bash, cmd, powershell, cygwin, whatever): Bash on Ubuntu on Windows

Problem description

I updated my Windows Installation to Insider build 15002 this morning and now I’m unable to open bash with ConEmu. When I try to open bash I get the following error: Exception 0xC0000005 (Write x0000000001D26BEE) was occurred (ConEmu64.exe, PID=3944) ConEmu build 161206 64

I’m able to open Bash outside ConEmu just fine and I can open cmd, Powershell and git-bash (bundled with git from git-scm.com) in ConEmu just fine.

I tried to reinstall conemu and I tried to delete the conemu.xml file from AppDataRoaming but the issue persists.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Update to Windows Insider build 15002
  2. Open Bash on Ubuntu on Windows using ConEmu

Repro rate: 5/5

Actual results

An error popup appears (see screenshot “Capture”). When dismissing the popup ConEmu shuts down and Bash opens in a new non-ConEmu window (see screenshot “Capture2”)

Expected results

Bash should open normally inside ConEmu

The bug doesn’t relate to BashOnWindows. It’s native Windows API bug.

I can confirm that the problem is indeed Bitdefender.

I am on 15019 Insider build. I had the same problem as the OP. Reading the posts here, I disabled BitDefender. And it just worked. I am able to reproduce the error every single time with Bitdefender turned on.

So, should we be reporting this to Bitdefender?

I should probably try replacing Bitdefender with another antivirus and check if the issue persists.

Perhaps it depends on BashOnWindows, but only MSDT devs may check that.

It works!
