So, is XY seeing the file creation from Windows before the space is allocated, and then not flagging the change in disk allocation as a change? Hence, the error might occur on larger files and if the allocated space is fragmented. I'll keep a check out of curiosity.

But, also, under certain conditions, XY might be getting incorrect information about file system changes, which is causing these crashes. I haven't been aware of any unexplained crashes, I can usually tie them down to something causing them.

I can change the refresh rate in x² because it's length has been discussed on the forum. I don't know about T.C. but I will look.

mikes16 has confirmed in the meantime that the unexplained background crashes have been fixed in v8.10.0020. They were existing for exactly one month in the BETAs after 8.10.0000.

Gandolf, I did not read your post as a bug report. To me it looks like XY behaves OK. Where do you see a bug here?
