My WinSDR closed for no reason and I lost several days of data while out of town. I did not have a power outage and my computer did not restart. I have windows 10 and 4.7.8b6 32-bit version. Wondering if anyone else has had this problem. Lee

Hi Lee, 

    Could it be Microsoft grabbing your computer to "update" it ? This happens to mine ! 
Have you included WinSdr in the startup Menu ? 

    Regards,

Hello,

This is a problem with WinSDR and Windows 10 (64bit?). Running WinSDR in a compatibility mode does not resolve this problem. The only solution that I have found is to use 32bit Linux (I use Debian, but other distros can be used) and Wine in Windows XP setting. That seems to be stable and WinSDR does not crash at all in this configuration.

Best regards,
Jón Frímann

Probable Windows 10 Update Service restarting your system. In Windows 7 you could disable all updates using the Control
Panel. In Win10 all you can do is pause updates for 30 days. The way around this is to manually disable the Update
Service. See option 1 on this page
https://www.cleverfiles.com/howto/disable-update-windows-10.html.

Also, as Chris has pointed out you should add WinSDR to the Startup folder. This way the program will automatically
startup if the system is restarted.

Thanks for the tip Larry. This has been an issue I have not been able to solve. Steve

Larry, thanks - in my case, the computer hadn't re-started, and I do have WinSDR in the startup menu. I'm guessing from what you've said, either an automatic update or just a problem with Windows 10, caused SDR to crash. Sounds like there's nothing I can do.
