[Qgis-user] QGIS Crash Message

[Martin Bain]

I finally fixed my crash on every exit of QGIS 2.16.

Since my previous post my PC was replaced and I tried a fresh install of 2.16.1 but still got the crash every exit.

I ended up deleting the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\QGIS branch from the registry.

Even though it was a fresh install of QGIS I think my user profile meant the old registry values followed me to my new computer.  This fixed the issue but was a bit heavy handed as I lost a lot of customs settings.  I exported the branch from the registry before I deleted it.  Merging it back into the registry caused the problem to reappear.  I tried deleting a few of the more complex looking sub branches but didn't find the registry value causing the crash.  Finally I deleted the whole HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\QGIS branch again, then started QGIS and with GIS running I merged the branch back  into the registry, I then exited QGIS without getting a crash!  I no longer get a crash on exit and I retained almost all of my settings - active plugins, recently used paths, expressions etc.  I lost a couple of thing that must be saved on exit such as the layout of the layers panel and the browser panel, but all good.

Cheers,
Martin

I also get a crash every time exiting 2.16.  (On Windows 7 32 bit, OSGeo installer).

I deleted the .qgis2 folder from C:\Users\<username> but still got a crash on every exit, also tried running the OSGeo installer and selecting "Reinstall" for every item, currently using 2.14.3

Nice to know (sort of) that I'm not the only one.

Cheers,
Martin

Why do I get a crash - mini-dump message when exiting QGIS 2.16?
