    Hi there ​@WhyAdoobie?, this is just how Cinema 4D works. The File > Close command and the red X close the current project. If you want to quit, you can go to the “Cinema 4D” menu and choose Quit Cinema 4D, which will do the same thing as right-clicking on the Dock icon.

    Okay, thank you.

    Mine does this when I use the menu. But that seems to be more of a C4D issue not an adobe issue.

    Oh no, sorry to hear that.

    I would definitely open a support ticket with Maxon and send them the _BugReport.txt file shown in the error. Hopefully they can look at it and figure out what’s going on.
