Getting Errors and Crashes

[Inner]

A little backstory, I've had Wallpaper Engine for years and never had problems until about 2 weeks ago. I noticed that the program was crashing when my PC went to sleep. And now, seemingly at random, only when WE is running, most programs I have open (Firefox, steam, spotify, discord) will crash.
Manually opening the app results in different results. I've had it open normally with no issue, crash all my programs, crash itself, and completely freeze my PC.
I'm assuming the problem is unrelated to Wallpaper Engine itself and hopefully the included crash dumps and log file will help determine the cause.

at least I got the achievement for causing a fatal error lol

I'm having the same issue when the computer goes to sleep and wakes back up Wallpaper Engine crashes and causes my system to run sluggishly. It's been happening since I updated Windows to version 1903 so possibly it has compatibility issues with it? Not sure.

Please create your own thread and share any log files or .mdmp files. Crashes like that have no general answer, there are also no compatibility issues with Windows 10 1903, it's the most commonly used Windows version. Usually, if issues like that start occurring after Windows updates, either some drivers or core Windows components were (partially) broken by the upgrade. Start by doing a clean re-installation of your graphics card drivers. If that does not work, please create a separate thread.

It have checked out your .mdmp files and the crash happens outside of our code and it's really just super randomly failing to access your system memory for no apparent reason. This is pretty much always caused by either antivirus software interfering, damaged hardware or something in the core of your Windows being broken (like drivers).

Since you say you also experience random software crashes and full system freezes, it's probably a hardware issue but it's impossible for me to say. It's definitely not possible that Wallpaper Engine causes your system to freeze or other applications to crash like that. It could occur more often with Wallpaper Engine running, simply because Wallpaper Engine is constantly "doing something" which can make underlying problems surface faster or in the first place.

In your case I would also recommend to do a lean re-installation of your graphics card drivers (make sure to also re-install your Intel ones, they are relatively outdated) or even Windows, but if the issue is on hardware level, you will have to investigate that.
