Troubleshooting
Problem
The java.exe process is terminated on Windows 10 / Windows 2019 environments unexpectedly by Windows CFG (Windows Control Flow Guard)
Symptom
The WebSphere server starts and writes only a few lines in the SystemOut.log, and then logging just stops, the SystemOut.log is truncated.
The java.exe process goes away; there are no dump files generated (javacores, snap, or core dump files) and no errors in the Event Viewer logs
Cause
Resolving The Problem
Open a PowerShell window as administrator
Run the following and replace the <WAS_HOME> with the WebSphere Application Server installation directory path.
For WebSphere Application Server v8.5.5.x
Set-ProcessMitigation -name "<WAS_HOME>\java\jre\bin\java.exe" -disable CFG
For WebSphere Application Server v9.0.5.x
Set-ProcessMitigation -name "<WAS_HOME>\java\8.0\jre\bin\java.exe" -disable CFG
