I will open a web page in a message group like fidonet mail area and see what happens after a few hours, the same on the telnet ansi side. So far only the MRC is causing the synchronet to fail and restartoncrash.exe to catch this failure, clear the on screen dialogue pop up message, and restart synchronet. I have noticed this on 3 unique machines, all running windows 10 with the ntdvmx64 patch. Maybe the patch is the culprit? I do not think MRC needs that though to run. But, maybe it is causing a conflict. A true mystery. Have a great day Codefenix.
