Try running Process Explorer on the machines where it works and where it doesn't work:

Related program Process Monitor might also be helpful. These free utilities from MS will tell you exactly what's happening in Windows.

> I have compiled new mini EXE files as you suggested in 2019.1 and installed runtime on problem PC. I have tried DEP settings and included plusrun.exe on the whitelist. The programs do not run. No messages or warnings. I have checked the settings on both PC's using cmd prompt 'wmic os get dataexecutionprevention_available/supportpolicy/drivers' with answers TRUE, 2, TRUE respectively. Both PC's have the same result. I have run EXE's on my machine and all good. Both PC's Windows 10 build 1703. It seems I have wasted the purchase of 2019.1 and no further advanced. If anyone has any ideas it would be appreciated. I am very concerned now. Thanks.
