SketchUp 2017 Started Crashing

I fortunately I have a pretty good time history.

5-4 Creator’s Update
5-20 SketchUp was working. (I have hand-dated printouts of my plans.)
5-21 Lenovo System update.
5-23 SketchUp was not working.

The only Windows update in the history for this time period was:
5-23 Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool for Windows 8, 8.1, 10 and Windows Server 2012, 2012 R2, 2016 x64 Edition - May 2017 (KB890830)

The latest Visual C++ Redistributable’s were on 5-4, presumably with the Creator’s Update.

  • So no indication of any changes that would affect MFC.

I know of no other changes to the system in this time period other than the Lenovo Update.

The Lenovo update history does not seem complete. For example, there is no mention of The BIOS update on 5-21 but it is in my notes. From the Lenovo history, I get:

  • Intel Management Engine 11.0 Firmware 7/8.1/10 [64] V11.6.25.1229

From Add/Remove programs, I get:

  • 5-21 Lenovo System Update
  • 5-22 Intel Management Engine Components
  • 5-22 Intel PROSet/Wireless Software

Debugging myself with Visual Studio, I tried attaching to SketchUp.exe before trying “Start using SketchUp”. After selecting that it crashed with:

‘SketchUp.exe’ (Win32): Loaded ‘C:\Windows\System32\WindowsCodecs.dll’. Cannot find or open the PDB file.

Exception thrown at 0x00007FF784D28EDD in SketchUp.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF.

Without the code, I can’t get any more information, and perhaps you already know this.
