<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">I finally fixed my crash on every exit of QGIS 2.16.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">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.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">I ended up deleting the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\QGIS branch from the registry.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
