My Application crashes on Windows 10 computer
My application keeps crashing unexpectedly on my Windows 10 computer, and I am unable to determine the cause of the issue. Despite trying to restart the system and reinstall the application, the crashes persist, leading to loss of data and frustration. I need help troubleshooting this problem and finding a solution to ensure the application runs smoothly without crashing. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

- Update Windows (Settings → Update & Security → Check for updates) — missing updates cause a lot of unexplained crashes
- Update GPU drivers directly from the manufacturer's site (NVIDIA/AMD/Intel), not just Windows Update
- Run System File Checker: open Command Prompt as admin, run sfc /scannow, then DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
- Check RAM: Win + R → mdsched.exe → restart and run the memory test — faulty RAM causes exactly this kind of "random unexplained crash across everything" pattern
- Check for conflicting background software (antivirus, overlay tools like Discord/GeForce overlays, RGB software) — these often clash with specific apps
You need to download and install the latest AMD driver based on the prompt.
Reinstall the application using an administrator account.
Run the System File Checker (SFC): This tool scans and repairs damaged Windows system files .
- Open the Start menu, type cmd, right-click on "Command Prompt," and select "Run as administrator."
- Type sfc /scannow and press Enter.
- Let the scan complete. If it reports that it found and fixed files, restart your computer and test the app .
