Laptop Crashes when unlocking vault

I have a windows 10 home edition hp laptop. A cryptomator vault on google drive.
I have added this vault to cryptomator and when I try unlocking the drive, the laptop crashes and restarts.

Can anyone help with this please?

There are tons of reasons for a blue screen.
I guess an error message, or anything that might be a hint will increase a chance to get help.

Hello, I have the same issue on my Dell Xps Windows 11 Family x64.
Just installed last version of Cryptomator, created a vault-file on OneDrive.
When I enter the passcode to unlock the vault, I have the robot moving then nothning during aprox 5s, then blue screen with simple error message telling windows crashed and need to reboot. No more message.
here the log file content :

thanks for the help

Hi all,
I have the same problem on my Win11 Medion laptop. The solution is shown at this link.

In particular, the “WhoCrashed” tool shows the problem.
Windows creates a dump when it crashes. In most cases you will find the dump under %SystemRoot%\MiniDump.
Control the location of the dump via System → Advanced system settings → Startup and recovery → Settings.
The easiest way is to start the “WhoCrashed” program and then press the “Analyze” button. WhoCrashed determines all existing dump files.
Then scroll down. There you will find the module, the product, the manufacturer and the location of the module that caused the crash.
In my case the crash was caused by a module coming from McAfee. The virus protection solution was preinstalled by Medion.
However, I have never used the product and have not licensed it further. After I uninstalled the McAfee product, everything works fine again
in Cryptomator.

Anti-virus programs are one of the most common causes of blue screens.

Best regards. Stefan

Yes, and Thank you Stefan.

After uninstalled the McAfee, I am also able to unlock the Vault without any issues.

Cryptomator is working fine.
