I really like PotPlayer and would hate to change my video player. However, intermittently, when I exit PotPlayer, my system freezes and I have to reboot. Other apps seem to be working in the background based on my modem blinking. My keyboard, mouse and screen freeze.

I think I have removed all codecs. I use Icaros for video thumbnails. I disabled Icaros and PotPlayer still froze.

The problem is intermittent - maybe once every 4 times I run PotPlayer, regardless of what video I am playing. It tends to happen more often after the video has played.

I tried the playback setting "Open a file using thread to fix freeze". This seemed to make no difference.

Any suggestions on a solution please?
