Sierra Chart suddenly crashing, also in Safe mode, V: 2646

I am running my instance and it suddenly crashes

- It is a sub instance
- I have started it in safe mode
- I have disabled OpenGL
- I have restarted my computer multiple times (windows 11, latest, amd64)
- Version: 2646, Rev: 50448M

It happens when I either click the button "Folder" in the "Trade Acitivity Log" > "Trades" > "Save Log As" screen or when recompiling an ASCIL file.

It does create a .dmp file in the Crashes folder.

I get when pressing the "Folder" button:

Unhandled exception at 0x00007FFCDC4E2583 (explorerframe.dll) in SierraChart.23464.dmp: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x00007FFCDDDA7C88.

And I get when it happens during "Compile Visual C++ Release":

Unhandled exception at 0x00007FFCFC734470 in SierraChart.2984.dmp: 0xC0000005: Access violation executing location 0x00007FFCFC734470.

From the stracktrace: (it is the Main Thread(
00007FFD096E9D56 mov qword ptr [rsp+50h],rax

What can I do here please? I can not really use it anymore.

Update:

I was able to narrow it done. There seem to be two things going on:

1: The exception which came up when I was compiling an ASCIL was my mistake as I am using external resources which seems to be problematic when they change and the DLL is unloaded, it works when I manually release the DLLs and recompile.

2: The second exception:
Unhandled exception at 0x00007FFCDC4E2583 (explorerframe.dll) in SierraChart.23464.dmp: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x00007FFCDDDA7C88.
comes only up if OpenGL is enabled. I have the latest nvidia drivers installed but i keep getting the error.

In this case just do not use OpenGL. We do not believe this is a problem within Sierra Chart.
