Question

Windows Security Dialog (genlwsc.exe) Opening Behind Active Window

Every time I first get onto the windchill server in Creo and am connected to a Windchill server, the authentication dialog (genlwsc.exe) opens behind the active window as shown with its icon blinking yellow. Any solutions for this???

 

The current 'solution' https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS303945, is to manually select it which isn't a solution.

 

Thanks.

May not be a 'solution' but it is the current workaround.

 

Some of my users see this and some don't. Just depends on the mood of Windchill. 

 

If your system is not up-to-date with Windows patches, then we get an EFX open error that totally blocks the Windows Security Dialog window. Have to kill the WIndows Security Dialog box, then OK the EFX error and then Windchill will let you login when you go through the Server Manager Window.

Thanks for the reply. None of the user group gets an explicit error message, just the authentication dialog box opens behind Creo.

Hello@smarcus3 

 

Try to change web browser type to other, by set config.pro option windows_browser_type

I like the idea; however, Chromium's authentication window also appears behind Creo

I see the resolutions are still being evaluated by PTC. Have you been able to learn anything more about this in the last 2 years?
