Hi,
My team works on a large, complex WPF application that occasionally sees the kinds of render thread failures described in this post: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/dsui_team/archive/2013/11/18/wpf-render-thread-failures.aspx
and in these support calls:

Our software runs video within tiles inside the application and is CPU & memory intensive.
Every potential fix mentioned in the five posts above has been tried with no success (this includes updating video drivers on both AMD Radeon and NVidia cards.) The only way to avoid this issue is to disable hardware acceleration which is not a serious option as the application loses responsiveness, and certain features are dependent on hardware-based pixel shaders. The problem is most likely to occur when the resolution is quite large - in particular when we deploy onto machines with 4K monitors and run the application full-screen.
In the support calls mentioned above the problem is categorized as "Won't fix". Is there any possibility that this categorization can be changed, or alternatively, can we get expert help with identifying more reasonable workarounds for our specific application?
Regards,
Greg
