Hi Everyone, Happy Friday!! Adobe Dreamweaver Version 21.2  Windows 10 just started continuously crashing today. Is this happening to anyone else? These are the things I have tried to correct the problem.

  • I rebooted my system.
  • I restarted Adobe Dreamweaver while pushing down the ctrl + shift + alt key to reset all defaults.
  • I use DW just about every day. The problem just started this morning.
  • I cleared my browser cache
  • I looked in Adobe Community support

    Does it crash at any specific time, like when opening a certain site or file, or is it more of a random shutdown?

    You may need to try a few different things...

    Site-specific Crashing, you can try...
    1. Disable your site cache (Site > Manage Sites > Advanced Settings > Uncheck Enable Cache)
    2. Delete the current site definition from Site > Manage Sites, then create a new one from your existing content

    For file-specific crashing, try...
    1. Open the offending file(s) in another application, like Notepad, and repair any errors found (visit this site to get a listing)
    2. With a new/clean file, overwrite the existing file that causes crashing

    If it's a random crashing issue, I would uninstall using the CC Cleaner Tool instructions and reinstall.

      Hi Jon,  Happy Friday. To answer your first question. Yes, the site crashes when I am adding CSS font property in split view as well as just in code view using the manage fonts menu. Ok, I did your first 2 recommendations as well as reported the crash to Adobe via the crash notification pop-up box. I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks for now

      Unfortunately DW doesn't understand CSS variables and, now that it's only minimally maintained, likely never will.

      While your usage looks to be correct, it may be the cause of your crashing.
