This is the same question as on turn off FTH but on Windows8 so maybe there's a different answer. I have tried ALL the suggestions there and it still won't go away. I'm trying to debug a 32 bit program on 64 bit Windows Pro 8. I've tried setting all the registry entries (and rebooting); these normally only exist in the 64 bit part but I added them to the 32 bit part as well. I've tried renaming the acxtrnal.dll file (both 32 & 64 bit versions). I've tried running the rundll32 suggestion given. None of these have stopped FTH running and destroying my program performance - an operation which took 5 seconds is now taking several minutes.

The only way I have found to get around it is to rename both the visual studio and my program executables - which I will have to do again when it next starts crashing (which it will - I'm doing development!!).

Any ideas?

To disable it for a single application

Go to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and HKEY_CURRENT_USER versions of Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers\your_application.exe and delete the Fault­Tolerant­Heap entry.
