Our last round of Windows OS updates (from March 14, 2023, KB5023765 Microsoft monthly rollup) seem to have killed our local development environments and our staging environment. ColdFusion instances would not restart. Our production environments were not impacted. Windows event viewer shows error "system cannot find the file". There is an Adobe community article that is similar about what to do when ColdFusion instances won't start - when using cfstart.bat, the error that appears is "ERROR: JDWP unable to get necessary JVMTI capabilities". In this thread @carehart also mentions debugging and JDWP. We had to manually adjust the jvm.config for all impacted instances and remove the Java argument "-Xrunjdwp". Changing ports in the argument did not appear to help. After removing the argument we were able to at least start up ColdFusion. Sharing it here in case it helps anyone else, and in case anyone has any ideas about what exactly might have triggered it for us.
