" can other programs affect XY and make it crash?"
- yes they can.
Often incompetent and incompatible shell extensions are the reason.

As well as 3rd party UAC- installations that intercept or replace the regular Windows UAC. They don't crash XY, but make it freeze. You have the ask the sysadmin to enter XY into the group of programs that are granted full rights.
