  FAQ: Lock-up of the FBX and Cinema 4D exporters in Windows 10


An explanation of the Microsoft bug in their "comctl32.dll" file which causes older versions of the Okino FBX and Cinema-4D exporters to lock-up while displaying the "Initializing RCTK Entity List" message.

Microsoft has introduced a serious "once in a lifetime" runtime bug into their Windows 10 releases as of January 2019. This is not related to Okino software. The lock-up occurs in a very trivial situation during the output of this status message to a Windows text dialog box control:

"Initializing data for export to CINEMA 4D/FBX"
"Initializing RCTK Entity List"

The lock-up occurs within the Microsoft "comctl32.dll" file which has been changed by Microsoft in their new 'Windows 10 # 1809' build. It occurs when this common control is trying to parse the "carriage return, line feed" (CR/LF) sequence of characters separating those two text lines mentioned above. It happens both in Unicode and ANSI modes so this is a serious bug introduced into this twice-yearly Windows 10 release.
