Issue escalated by executive. Critical employee PC impossibly slow. Fairly decent laptop. I reimage it. Same issue. Request remote session. See Chrome at 1 frame per second. Uninstall Grammarly which does DLL injection to processes. Issue fixed. Seriously fuck 3rd party code.

I believe there's a little-known mechanism by which apps can immunize themselves against DLL injection.
@mpixorg would know. -
Yes Chrome 64bit uses it but I’m not a kernel person
@laparisa -
What dll's did you see injected? That sounds... fun.
-
No Chrome was just to point out the speed of the PC, I didn’t mean to imply it was hooking Chrome. Unless it is.

-
Ah I see. Which dll's did you see that grammar tool touching? I'm really curious why that would be needed there.
-
I’ll need to spin up a VM, it’s been a long time since I looked at it

You mean explicit user action like, installing it?
-
No. I mean invoking an unmodified foo.exe via dblclk/startmenu/etc. should not be able to load dlls provided by application bar.
-
In particular if foo.exe was installed system-wide (vs as user), nothing application bar does should be able to modify how foo.exe runs.
-
I see what you're saying but you're effectively arguing against any kind of third party tool/plugin/overlay. Which I think you're going to lose, just on general usage alone.
-
Nobody wants the awful context menu addon plugins that make right clicks take 15 seconds to respond. It's a way for vendors to spam promotions of their products & always has been.
-
Not saying that's not true.

Yes, I know. That's why I blame them so much for pushing and normalizing this awfulness.
-
Windows ppl finding "injecting third party code into applications" perfectly normal is probably how we got the awful video driver architecture Linux is stuck with where vendor drivers get dlopened into applications.

We’ve built things with that security model. Phones work like that. Tablets work like that. Office was ported to them but can’t say it ever took off.
