Run YRL as a service or configure to restart?

I absolutely love this application. My only complaint is that it has a tendency to crash (Win10/11) after being open for a few hours. This makes remote library access a challenge.

Is there a way to make it run as a service, or to restart after a crash? (ideally less crashing would be nice too)

I always have YACReaderLibrary running and I am not getting those crashes, do you know if there is anything that triggers them?

Maybe you can find here some ideas: stackoverflow.com/questions/9344235/how-...t-crashes-in-windows

Hi, thanks for the reply.


I see this in the event viwer:

I have it running on my Alienware laptop (m18) running Windows 11 and it crashes there too with the same regularity.

It's usually either Qt6Core.dll or ucrtbase.dll on that machine mentioned in the event id 1000.

The first one `ig9icd64` seems to be related to an intel graphic card, which is weird.

The second one is too generic.


What port are you using in the server? I wonder if it is a problem with http requests coming from the outside, if it is 8080 or other common port, please change it to something random and use that for a while, let me know if the crashes disappear.

I set one of them to 7777. Will monitor for a bit. I should know soon as it almost never stays up for more than an hour or two before crashing.

That didn't help. It still crashes on both machines. One of them I even disabled the server completely and it still crashes.

That’s really weird, there are lots of people running YACReaderLibrary as a server and if crashes every hour are so common I would have heard about it. Can you think about any software that could be causing any kind of incompatibility? Any antivirus? Where are your comics stored? Are your graphic card drivers updated? What settings do you have enabled in YACReaderLibrary? Are automatic updates on? I am going to need as much information as possible about your setup.

On one machine the library is an external USB HDD. On the other, the library is on a removable nvme ssd (SN750) in an Asus ROG Strix enclosure.

I even tried copying the library to my Qnap NAS to see if using removable drives was somehow the issue, but that made no difference.

I looked at my settings and see nothing unusual. I just unchecked periodic updates in case that might be causing the issue.

For antivirus I only ever use whatever comes as part of Windows these days. I don't install anything additional.

And as mentioned earlier, one install has the server enabled and one does not. Seems to make no difference.


I do rdp to these machines quite a bit throughout the day from work over a Wireguard vpn. I don't think that would matter at all, but just mentioning it.

Let's see if automatic updates disabled makes a difference.

Next step would be to discard external storage: remove all the libraries, create a library with a couple of files in your Desktop and leave that running to see if crashes still happen.

And try to take a look to the logs in C:\Users\your_user_name\AppData\Local\YACReader\YACReaderLibrary

The VPN shouldn't make a difference unless the IP address of the machine used to start the server changes. But the more things you can isolate the better.

BTW, if you have a NAS you may want to install YACReaderLibraryServer running in a Docker container, I just published an official image: www.yacreader.com/forum/support-linux/26...creaderlibraryserver
