RAD Studio 10.4.2 crashes upon exit

[wuwuxin 28]

My RAD Studio 10.4.2 works fine with opened project, but it ALWAYS crash upon exit (i.e., after I click the close button).  however, if I don't open any project, just open the IDE then close it,  no crash.

 

This doesn't impact my programming work, but quite annoying.

 

From Windows Event Viewer, I find the following info - I suspect the crash is related to some third-party component or some IDE expert.

 

Any one can shed some lights?

I've had issues in the past (exception on exiting); I tracked it down to auto loading the desktop when starting/auto saving the desktop on exiting.

@Rob Truby  Thank you for the heads up.   What should I do to fix this -  where I can turn off "auto saving desktop on exiting"?

Try Tools| Options | IDE | Saving and Desktop > Autosave options

Thank you.  I double checked - "Save project desktop when closing" was indeed turned off.  It seems not relevant to the crashing?

Anyway, thank you again.

Is this the plain IDE or do you use some plugins?

For me, the periods when it goes OK and then the periods when it falls.
I told myself I wouldn't notice

I've just been working on some IDE experts/wizards. It can be a little annoying ensuring a clean shutdown sometimes, and not always easy to identify the root problem.

 

I wish the IDE would allow for a registry config variable for displaying/hiding exceptions on shutdown. It is a bit annoying when 3rd parties behave badly. 😉

We had this issue at work, the root cause was a poorly written in-house IDE plugin.

As others already mentioned - start uninstalling / disabling plugins and then component suites. You'll quickly find the culprit.

My 2 cents.
 

I have been battling, or rather, living with the constant crashing of the Delphi Sydney 10.4.1 IDE for months and months.
All I had to do was open the IDE and close it to get the protected memory access error rtl270.bpl

I tried uninstalling all plugins (GExpert, Parnassus, etc).
No luck.

Following your directions I removed the installed libraries one by one and, as Murphy teaches, when I removed the penultimate one the problem disappeared.

Basically I was using an old, but not much, library called Graphics32 which in the IDE shutdown phase was sending everything into a tailspin. Updated to the latest version now everything works perfectly.

Staying up-to-date, with the latest stable versions of your libraries, is usually a good idea!
If you have proper unit and integration tests, keeping current should be low risk.
