KiCad crashed and restarted

Hi,
OS: Windows 11
Kicad Ver :7.07

Kicad crashed and restarted when I try to edit the symbol properties, adding the net label, adding the global net label, adding the hierarchial label etc. Not able to fix it. Tried to restart the system. Changed from 3 monitor to single display also. but no issues

Do you have any PlugIns installed ?

[Arumugam_Elumalai]

I didn’t. May I know where can i find the plugins.
Thanks-Arum

You can see if you have any PlugIns installed from the Plug In and Content Manager . . .

. . . but if you don’t then your issue is NOT related to this one :

Consistent crash while changing between projects

There is this bug that lets Kicad crash. I can easily recreate it. Just open a project and open schematic and board editor. Than close the editors and use Kicad’s main window to open a different project. From this point as soon as you open the board editor, Kicad crashes. It does not matter if you open the editor from either the main window or via the schematic editor. Application: KiCad x64 on x64 Version: 7.0.5, release build Libraries: wxWidgets 3.2.2 FreeType 2.12.1 HarfBuzz 6.0.0 F…

Installed the plugins. But same issue continues

???
It’s the other way around. There is no need to install them. The thread linked to describes crashes of KiCad that are probably linked to installed plugins, so to get more stability you should UN-install the plugins, but if you had none, there is nothing to uninstall either.

As Paul mentioned, you don’t need to add PlugIns . . .

Have you tried running KiCad “As Administrator” ?

@RaptorUK

Have you tried running KiCad “As Administrator” ?

Please do not advocate users to run KiCad as administrator. It will risk corrupting their file permissions by doing so.
Administrator has nothing to do with impacting crashes here.

Did you check the GitLab issue tracker, if there is already a bug descriptions that fits the bug you are experience? I searched for it and found some that maybe related, maybe not. If there is no description of your bug already, can you create a new one?

And please add more detailed versions info (From Help->About KiCad ->Copy Version Info). Also check if this happen on all (and new) projects or just a few. If it only happens in some or a single project(s), upload a project that causes the crash.

More information could also be helpful: Did you use the mouse or keyboard shortcuts? When exactly does this happen?

Good news is, we have crash reports and it’s related to fonts.

However figuring out why is another question

Try the latest 7.0 testing build
https://downloads.kicad.org/kicad/windows/explore/7.0-testing

You can use the install ending with -x86_64-lite.exe
