Windows 10 April 2018 Update (Version 1803) breaks ServerWMC? - scubadvr - 2018-05-01
I installed the new update this evening and now ServerWMC returns an error "Object reference not set to an instance of an object. Unrecoverable Error - ServerWMC will terminate!"

Please post the serverwmc log on pastebin.com and put a link to it here. You can find the log here:
%programdata%\VDSoftware\ServerWMC

I don't see an error in the log, but it does look it was exited immediately. Have you tried re-installing?
RE: Windows 10 April 2018 Update (Version 1803) breaks ServerWMC? - scubadvr - 2018-05-01
Yes, reinstalled both the stable + preview versions and continuing to get this error message
RE: Windows 10 April 2018 Update (Version 1803) breaks ServerWMC? - krustyreturns - 2018-05-01
All I can think is to try a clean install by deleting (or better yet, just rename so you keep your settings) this directory
%programdata%\VDSoftware\ServerWMC
Then install again. If it fails, try one more time to post the log.

I'm don't know why there isn't an error message in the log. I think the problem is that serverwmc is not finding all of the wmc dlls it needs to run. It needs the wmc dlls: mcepg, ehRecObj and mcstore. Is wmc working on this computer?
RE: Windows 10 April 2018 Update (Version 1803) breaks ServerWMC? - scubadvr - 2018-05-03
Aha! The Windows 1803 broke WMC itself (which I rarely ever use). Reinstalled and now everything works normally.
Sorry for the runaround and thanks for your help!
