OS
Windows 11 - Release Preview channel
Upon booting into safe mode on my machine I'm getting a pop up box error reading:

ctfmon.exe - System error
The system detected an overrun of a stack-based buffer in this application. This overrun could potentially allow a malicious user to gain control of this application.

My current OS version is 23H2 Build 22631.3880

Has anyone else encountered this error recently?

As I never had this problem, I myself could not help you, but may be you find the solution in one of the search results.

That POS has been running in the background on all my Windows PC's for years, and has never caused any problems.
But it just Pixxes me off that I don't need it, don't want it, and it's taking up space in memory and using up CPU cycles.
I have a little program called "CTFMon remover" but, it doesn't really remove that program.

So I've had to put that POS in a box with rain, hurricanes and snow, all things I can't fix, so I just have to deal with it.

CTFmon is still a thorn in my side, which I hope one day to be able to remove, or disable.
So far, unregistering the .dll's has failed.
