Additional information: the Windows event log seems to think that the OS "restarted" after the crash. The X-Plane log was last written to at 7:53 and there is an event at 7:54 (the next prior Windows event log entry is from 7:19) that the OS was restarted. I did not restart the OS and saw no indication that the operating system restarted. The OS did freeze for a bit and I was unable to open any windows, open the start menu, alt-tab, etc. I have included the event from the Windows event log here:
The process C:\Windows\System32\RuntimeBroker.exe (PHILIP-PC) has initiated the restart of computer PHILIP-PC on behalf of user Philip-PC\Philip Picard for the following reason: Other (Unplanned)
Reason Code: 0x0
Shutdown Type: restart
I saved the rest of the log but there may be personal information in it so that is available if you message me directly.
Thank you,
Philip
