Lightroom helper crashes when terminating lightroom.  This occurs on a Windows 10 PC that is fully up to date.

Hi

I am on LR6, the so called perpetual licence!  About 5 weeks ago I started getting the same type of 'Application error', this when I was deleting images.  I get a few minutes of 'normal' work then it clicks in and LR shuts down; no choice it just goes. 

I am suspicious of the latest Windows upgrade to 10 from early December.  Am now trying to rest set to see if this cures the problem.

Am also now looking at alternative software.

i am getting thisproblem as well but i get this 

the instruction at 0x00007FF7AEA8FDD5 referenced memory at 0x000001B23C98D9D9. The memory could not be read.

click on OK to terminate the program

about 50% of the time it does this, its always when i distort a photo, or too many things are happening. there is NO way for me to "report" the problem i have no option. what do i do about this situation cause i keep losing all my hard work.

In case it would help the folks at Lightroom Queen suggested I post my predicament here. I can't be close to being sure my experience is the same as the discussion here but I have been getting similar errors the last couple of weeks.  Sometimes LR would just randomly shut down, most times I ended up with the error dialog below.

However, I may have resolved the issue but I am afraid its too soon to tell for sure. After trying a dozen or so things including clearing cash, turning off GPU, and eventually reinstalling, all to no avail, I noticed that UNDER PREFERENCES/LOCAL STORAGE the path to my external hard drive where originals get copied to was not anything I recognized.  So clicked browse to see where it was going but of course it is not smart enough to use the value there as a starting point so I decided to create a new folder on the drive and use that.  LR, cloudy version, then proceeded to "MOVE" all my originals to that new location.  Since I did that I have not see the error again, but it has been a short time.

Here is the error I was seeing if it is of any value (btw because of what it said I also did a stress test on my memory and no errors were found):

Please install version 3.4, released yesterday. Do you still see the crash after updating to 3.4?

Found this in the event viewer.  I'm a software developer and this bug seems to possibly be a race condition that occurs when terminating lightroom.  As noted earlier, the error only occurs when exiting by clicking on the X, and only occurs about 10-20% of the time.  The system remains operational and lightroom can be restarted without issue.  I have not seen any files become corrupted.

As you suggested, I ran the full set of DELL diagnostics, and my laptop passed all of them, including the memory test.

It looks like this is an OS-level crash. Without an Adobe Crash Log, I have no information to review? Is there a local crash dump created by Windows you can share? Have you tested memory?

I am logged into this page with the same email that my adobe account is associated with Remove Email Address.  The crash notification shown earlier in this thread is all that I get. As you can see, there is no option for uploading a crash.
