I missed this ticket due to the long break in the community, just noticed the ticket after it was moved.
Generally we need a new winp version with https://github.com/kohsuke/winp/issues/58 . I will see what I can do about it.
https://github.com/jenkinsci/jenkins/pull/4029
Released in Jenkins 2.178, will consider for LTS backporting
Please consider for back porting. We only use LTS.
We also run LTS here, but installing Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 Redistributable (x64) - 12.0.40649 solved the crashes easily. I suggest not hurrying with the backport, in case there is some unexpected problem with the new winp version.
Postponing this to 1.176.2 as the fix is quite new and there appear to be an alternative fix.
