Is there an Error Log?

[gandrews]

Hi,

Kicad is randomly crashing. Windows has a error log of the crash in the “Problem Details” app, but I was wondering if Kicad kept a error log that could help diagnose what’s wrong.

The Windows error log is as follows:

I stopped using Windows years ago, can’t be of much help there.
Whenever you try to pinpoint software problems, always add the complete version info of KiCad to your post.

**Kicad / Help / About / Copy Version Info / OK.

Then paste it in your web browser.
It is a piece of text and about 25 lines high.
