SYMPTOMS
The NvRunCmd service may terminate unexpectedly when SNA Application internal tracing is enabled. Control Panel Services shows the NvRunCmd service with the status as "Stopped."



CAUSE
NvRunCmd writes a trace line after a particular function call, but before the corresponding GetLastError function call. Therefore, the value returned by this function call is incorrect and causes the NvRunCmd to terminate. As a result, the NvRunCmd Service receives a shutdown request and the service is stopped.
