I tried to launch the Markbook-Demo file. I didn’t receive the issue “Code 33”, but the Excel spreadsheet isn’t loaded as expected.
I see a gray screen:
User has also report Code 33 error.
When running Test application there appeared to be no issue.
Compiled 32 & 64bit EXE files are created separately, not as a combined EXE.
Below is users Window System information.
Thanks for the report. We are investigating this problem with the Windows KB update.
These 2 updates only. after that I asked my client to temporarily turn off the windows update until we fixed the problem
Same here. What should the outcome of running that file be? I was hoping for a beta version of XMLPadlock to test on 24H2…
We are working on this issue. It is due to a Preview update Microsoft released some days ago for Windows 11 24H2 users: KB5046740.
If you uninstall that preview update, it works again.
Our third-party provider of the faulty component we are using in XLS Padlock has been advised too and they are working on the issue too.
Hopefully, we’ll get a fix soon.
when are you going to update the program?, it’s getting so common this problem
Im have same error
Add-in 2 System Error. Code 33.
I’ve also encountered the same issue and cannot uninstall the KB5046740 update. Have others experienced problems uninstalling it as well?
I thank you in advance; please keep us updated.
Update: the problem has been identified.
Caused by the Microsoft KB5046740 update.
Uninstalling this KB (remind that this is a Preview and not the final release by Microsoft) fixes the issue; but this is not a valid fix.
Note: it does not occur on all computers with KB5046740 installed. Some customers with that update do not get the error code 33.
A fix is in preparation and will be made available as soon as the tests are successful. The fix will be integrated into XLS Padlock 2024.3.
Thank you for your patience.
Settings → Windows update → Updates history
Scroll down until the end of the list and you will find the updates uninstall option.
Hope this helps:
An affected client says he is using TotalAV for his AntiVirus progam.
- Are there any other affected users using the same AntiVirus program?
Another client Fixed it by doing this:
Uninstalled three recent updates, put updates on pause and disabled auto-install, waited ½ hour (for good measure), resumed downloads (with auto install still disabled), after all downloaded he selected the “install all” option, then Restarted after all installed, problem went away.
Hope this helps the GDG Team
Just want to add client had to restart system after removing update:
“Caused by the Microsoft KB5046740 update.”
Thanks for the quick id and solution

- have a few clients driving me nuts
- by the way they’re all using Surface Pro 7 (Error 59 even with the 2024.2 update)!
