How to fix an unexpected error with HTML control on Windows 11 updated to version 24h2 ?

Editer

In this version 24H2 of Windows 11, a system API can cause an application to stop with a memory error in a module \*web64\chrome_elf.dll. The fault occurs when using an HTML input control with the Internet Explorer ActiveX.

if all HTML fields use Chromium Embedded Framework (CEF) and not IE/EDGE, execution does not stop.

To allow execution with Windows 11 24H2, workarounds depend on the WINDEV's version the application is compiled with:

WINDEV 2024 application (before "Update 4") :

Just recompile the application with WINDEV 2024 "Update 4" (280089j) :
