    I am experiencing the same problem as of 2019 with Windows 10 (Pro 10.018363) + Texniccenter (TC, 2.02 stable) + updated Miktex 2.9. Both 32 bit and 64 bit TC versions display the same behaviour. I do not encounter any other anomalies, except the sudden crash of TC when a project is open in any way (loading one from the program, open the program double clicking on a project, create a new project, create a project from active file).

    Description: File > New > Project: the program shuts down.
    Description: Double click on any project file: the program flashes open and then shuts down.

    Worth mentioning that I use TC on another Windows 10 machine (Home 10.018363 ) and do not get this issue. So this looks like some bad interaction with specific hardware or windows settings. I guess this makes it quite hard to reproduce and to debug, unfortunately...

    I was able to solve the issue following the suggestion given in another similar ticket:
    https://sourceforge.net/p/texniccenter/user-reports/1402/#18d6

    You need to disable a windows setting to Show recently opened items in Jump lists, see attached screenshot. After disabling it, all operations with projects I tried were fine.

    Interestingly, you can re-enable immediately afterwards the setting, and existing projects are still working well. Only if you create a new project the the program keeps crashing if the setting is not disabled.

    This error unfortunately is still happening for me even after disabling the setting for recently opened items.
