Hope this guide will help you when you run into createmutex error which means access denied globally.
Approved: Fortect
Today I have a theme similar to the previous one, but with exciting new sessions.It is called a mutex and has an integer prefix Global
.When an application created a mutex with a foreign name no, other applications with different owner accounts could not synchronize with our mutex.The CreateMutex control always returned ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED
. The OpenMutex succeeded, but the mutex cannot be used for synchronization.
The solution is that all applications need a global mutex to access them using CreateMutexEx
(only with SYNCHRONIZE
request). Everything and everyone in the world must provide security paraphernalia. By default, security attributes cannot be shared between user accounts.
