As of today I'm unable the debug any application I get the following message in the log. The log below comes from a newly created project from "File > New > Default".
Any ideas how to solve this?

Regards,
Peter

What do you have in Starter?

There is nothing special in the Starter, it's a project template from the file menu "File > New > Default"

B4X:
#Region  Service Attributes
    #StartAtBoot: False
    #ExcludeFromLibrary: True
#End Region

Sub Process_Globals
    'These global variables will be declared once when the application starts.
    'These variables can be accessed from all modules.

End Sub

Sub Service_Create
    'This is the program entry point.
    'This is a good place to load resources that are not specific to a single activity.

End Sub

Sub Service_Start (StartingIntent As Intent)
    Service.StopAutomaticForeground 'Starter service can start in the foreground state in some edge cases.
End Sub

Sub Service_TaskRemoved
    'This event will be raised when the user removes the app from the recent apps list.
End Sub

'Return true to allow the OS default exceptions handler to handle the uncaught exception.
Sub Application_Error (Error As Exception, StackTrace As String) As Boolean
    Return True
End Sub

Sub Service_Destroy

End Sub

Did you try to stop antivirus? Maybe your antivirus has updated yesterday that caused this problem?

I did a reboot, did a clean 4BA install on a different drive, nothing worked, this morning I cleaned up the windows temp folder and guess what, debug is working again..
