I'm using PSoC Creator 4.2 on Win10 (build 17134).  It's suddenly started several times a day.  I don't get any sort of warning or error message... the program just quits immediately and I lose any unsaved changes.  I'm connected to a 5LP target via a MiniProg3, though I'm not always debugging when the crash occurs.  It may be correlated with simultaneously running Visual Studio 2013, but I'm not certain.

Is there some kind of log file created that can at least give me a clue about why this is happening?  I did a search and found a number of similar complaints - does Cypress at least have a clue what's going on?  I use several large CAD and IDE packages, and this is the only one that crashes like this.

We do not recommend running Visual Studio and PSoC Creator simultaneously.

This error is specific to Windows as evident from these links:

Some related threads to learn more about why the crash occurs:

1) PSOC Creator 4.2 random shutdown error in ucrtbase.dll after windows 10 1803 update

2) Re: Psoc creator random crash in ucrtbase.dll

We are trying to resolve this issue with Microsoft but right now the not so ideal workaround is to use one IDE at a time.
