Odder and odder, Termite, I left logging data from the serial port, got given something else to do, came back it had closed. I am now thinking of trying a third...

...and even then it shouldn't be without surveillance, as toddlers tend to find things in the sandbox left by the cat. Then who knows what they'll do with it.

decades ago, I left my first son at the age of 3 in the room I was painting. I swear, I was only gone for 30 seconds. Sigh, the damage done

Other comments are fine but don't seem to address that you are suggesting the following
1. Even new install crashes immediately
2. You did not change anything in the executable
3. The computer you tested on worked before (and it had Windows 11 before.)
If the above it true then the most likely explanation is that the environment changed. And the most likely change there is a Windows 11 update happened. Other possibility is that you installed/updated some other software - like a virus checker.

I don't do UIs but this seems like an application anyways. Have you looked into logging software (libraries) and then added generic try/catches to all threads (which would log)?

So Mr. Patton - what's the status of this issue? Inquiring minds want to know.

Just plain odd, lashed up another app with a rich text box and a loop to place "Huh?" in it and it works, ran my App again, without Admin rights didn't work, with Admin rights ran, left it running and splat, crashed again. I'm starting to think it could be the PC as I ran it at home on Win 11 works, left over night fine. Last Win11 update caused my Work Laptop to choke...

Not that it's important, but when you moved the application to your home pc, did you re-compile? I wonder if the dlls are the same when the app loads up? I think you are old enough to remember dll-hell

Okay, full story, I am not a 'Software Author' therefor I am not entitled to a Vis Studio Licence so I have to use my own. I was compiled on my home machine so ran the installer at work on 11 didn't have 11 at home (now I have!). I have used the installer on Win 7 to 10 with no alteration (all is good) on Win 11 issues. Yes I rember DLL-hell it was how I found CP Googling in vain... My thinking was look at what had changed there will be the answer.

Thank you. Cockroach is also the more common term for the insect in the US as well, but roach is used fairly often too. Another term, at least here, for roach is joint (Marijuana) but I was unsure how widely known it was and nothing occurred to me as to how to work that meaning into a clue.

The roach in a joint is the bit you put in your mouth which is usually a torn up Rizla packet flap - not that I know...
The clue could be
Perspective from small program with the end of a joint
