Look at the list of your installed software and ask yourself, which of them could impose additional restrictions on low-level API's? Various would-be-"antiviruses", "antihacking" and "firewall" applications are ready candidates for investigation. P.S. If you have an hour to spare, you could try installing your OS in a VM and check in there. -- With best regards, Andrey Repin Monday, March 9, 2020 6:08:37 Sorry for my terrible english...
