Plugin_host.exe has stopped working

#1

I am running a ST3 version 3143 64 bit,

Every time I double click any file (.py, .c, .h, .txt etc) I get a message saying ‘plugin_host.exe has stopped working - A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Please close the program’

I am not able to print a console log as all the ribbons disappear which is really annoying

I have tried looking online for information but nothing seems to fix, I have removed and reinstalled ST multiple times, I have tried to ignore packages, I am really stuck as to why this is happening. My company are using Trend as their antivirus and it is an absolute pain for us software developers, I read somewhere that this may be the cause of this? is that possible?

If so then I am completely screwed as I love this text editor and have a paid license, would be a shame to not be able to use it properly due to an antivirus!

If I open the application and drag the files I want to open into the application tabs then I have no problem, its only when you double click a file and it has to manually open through ST.

Please someone help!

Did you try:

  • View
  • Show Console
  • import sublime; sublime.log_commands(True) (set False to disable again)

to find out what’s happening? Not sure if that’s what you meant with “printing a console log”.

Make sure you’re targeting the Sublime Text 3\sublime_text.exe binary, not the Sublime Text 3\subl.exe:

  • WIN + I (Win10 Settings)
  • Apps
  • Standard Apps
  • Standard Apps by file type

Hi rppn,

Thank you for a reply.

This is the log from Sublime text when I open it up normally:

Unfortunately I am not able to access any of the tabs at the top of Sublime when I double click a file to be opened in ST.

I am literally missing everything when I try to open a file through sublime text - I have no ‘file’ ‘edit’ ‘selection’ ‘find’ ‘view’ ‘goto’ ‘tools’ ‘project’ ‘preferences’ ‘help’
