Random crashes since new version.

[GTrainAU]

Hi all.

Been using Push2Run to automate a handful of PC tasks (mainly shutdown/sleep). All has been well until the last update, now the app randomly closes every day, usually without receiving any commands.

Windows logs - both events occurring at the same time:

Any idea what's going on here? Cheers.

Interestingly, I haven't seen this myself, and I'm not sure what is going on here.

Changes in 3.2 were restricted to import and export functionality.

You may want to try and download and install version 3.3 (released last week) to see if you're getting the same issue.

Also, you may want to reload Microsoft's dot net framework (Push2Run requires version 4.6.2)

Thanks.

I looked for the previous version as an easy fix, but couldn't find a link on the website, I'll have another look.

I checked my .NET, it's 4.8 (current). The process for reinstalling it seems convoluted, so I'll try it if the rollback doesn't work.

PS: Just realised I posted this in the wrong section, sorry

As an update.

I updated to the new version (3.3), the issue persisted. I looked into reinstalling .Net, it's a nightmare on W10. So I looked into the error code and what throws it. Discovered it can be related to memory, so I cleaned up my system (removed some automation I can live without, sorted out some leaks, etc).

Haven't experienced any crashes since. Seems it was a memory problem.

Thanks for posting an update GTrainAU.

I assume the changes you made, other than upgrading to the most recent version of Push2Run, were specific to your system. Having that said, were there any in particular that you would see as being important for others to know about - or do you feel the issues you were having were somehow tied to your machine in particular?

Thanks again, hope the program is of good use to you.

[GTrainAU]

No, I think my system is simply lacking in available memory, given my intended use.

Only recommendation is that if people run into similar issues, try to free up some memory and see if that helps.
