Unable to get accessibility event information from Wordpad.exe - windows

I am trying to capture windows accessibility events from wordpad.exe for context menu items shown above. When I look at the OBJ_FOCUS events from AccEvent.exe, it doesn't show me anything but
"Error: getting object: hr=0xFFFFFFFF80004005 - Unspecified error".
Sometimes it'll show the same thing except it'll say "Access denied" instead of unspecified error.
I am not sure why this is happening because I can see the events fine all the other Microsoft office products. I am using Windows 7 on a VM.
If anybody have any ideas about this, please let me know.
Thank you.

How did I get this hidden "URL Moniker Notification Window" in my app?

I am working with MS Support on a case. We've found that when running an install/update on our application, that it doesn't work as expected on Windows 10.
A window inside our application is returning an error when the Windows Restart Manager sends a WM_QUERYENDSESSION to it. This results in an aborted shutdown on our app during the install.
With the help of Microsoft Support we've determined that it is the "URL Moniker Notification Window". I also know which thread owns the window. But I don't see anything in that code that rings a bell for me.
Where does this window come from? How did I get this in my process?
No answer was ever found. Ultimately, replacement of our installer (w/ WIX) made the world a better place.

Cannot publish Google Game services

I am trying to publish my game services using Play developer's console.
I am getting the "Ready to publish" button, and all lights are green but when I click the button I get a "An unexpected error occurred. Please try again later." red message on the top of the screen.
I have tried logging out, switching browsers and updating some details but nothing helps.
Here is a screen shot of the situation:
Anyone have an idea what I might try to do in order to resolve this?
So I have managed to solve this, and here is what I have done if anyone encounters the same problem. I have read and tried many solutions that were suggested in other posts and contacted Google but nothing worked.
The solution was to remove the linked apps, and add both of them again. I have 2 linked apps, one with the production certificate and one with the debug certificate.
This solution does not make any sense to me, and I guess it is some internal error on Google's side.

Mac StoreKit "An unknown error has occured" on purchase

Im trying to test my in app purchases in mac osx application as always.
But something happened today and i cant test a single in app.
First i add my payment to SKPaymentQueue,
When it asks - i enter the test user account,
Then i press yes in confirmation dialog,
And after that i just get strange dialog box saying "An unknown error has occurred" with buttons "cancel" and "retry".
When i press "retry" - literally nothing happens.
No absolutely no logs in system console, no changing in SKPaymentTransaction status.. nothing.
Transaction status stays in SKPaymentTransactionStatePurchasing state until i press "cancel" in that strange dialog.
And only after that i get SKPaymentTransactionStateFailed (because it is canclled)
I have tried the other mac, i tried other application (even one that is live and was tested fine like 5 days ago), i tried to create new test user, regenerate app id, provisions and etc.
I have deleted system caches, NetworkInterfaces.plist and did other stuff that i found in google as possible workaround.
What do i do?
For you, this is probably not true, but I'll write for others. In iTunes Connect will likely have InApp-Purchase does not fill in the localization data

WM_GESTURE/WM_GESTURENOTIFY not dispatched on Windows 7 with iIyama plt2250 monitor. What am I doing wrong?

I've been tasked with adding gesture support to our product which was simple enough on a new Windows 8 machine - I just added WM_GESTURE to our wndproc and everything worked as expected. However, when it came to getting it to work on a Win7 machine things have been very different. I receive no gesture messages at all. Even spy++ shows no gesture messages being sent to my application. I've managed to get touch messages working using RegisterTouchWindow() but I know that I won't get an gesture messages when touch is disabled, so that was only done for test purposes. I read somewhere that "flicks" can interfere, so I have disabled flicks, both from the control panel, and from code using SetOpt(). I've even tried hooking in to GetMessage using SetWindowsHookEx. Nothing I do works. I've tried the example programs from the Microsoft Touch Pack, and gestures appear to be working there, in that everything works as expected. I've read all the documentation I can find, and still can't work out what's going wrong. Can anyone provide any more insight into this? I feel like it should "just work", but it really isn't!
Thanks in advance.

How to fix "Unable to activate Windows Tailored application" on Win8

I get "Unable to activate Windows Tailored application" error in Metro app when I'm running it under debugger of Visual Studio 11. I installed Windows 8 x64 Developer Preview on my Dell E6510 laptop.
I googled it and found out many people saying it happens when screen resolution is smaller than 800x600 but it's 1920x1280 in my case.
The app itself contains nothing. It's just empty wizard created application which is nothing but windows with black background.
Any ideas? It seems like very common issue.
The solution was quite bizarre but I figured it out.
It turns out not a single Metro application works under Administrator account including my apps. I'm talking about built-in Administrator account that is disabled by default (but which I enabled).
It gives "Access denied" error so I suspect it's somehow related to the way WinRT COM objects were registered or something like that. Go figure.
I hope somebody from Microsoft is reading this.
Best solution is to wait 2 weeks for the next release. The developer preview is full of fun bugs like this. I've seen this error caused by invalid app.xaml. Double check that you really haven't changed anything. I've also seen this error sometimes resolved by rebooting. Have fun!
