I recently upgraded Windows 10 on my laptop. After the update, post the champ select screen, I get the following error - "critical error has occurred and the process must be terminated". The game just crashes. Again, this used to work fine before the Windows upgrade. Not sure what went wrong. I am attaching the dump file generated from the crash. It happens even when i try to open the training mode. Already placed on LPQ because of this issue.

Also, I have had anti-virus (Mcafee) running on my laptop since 2 years now, so i dont see it causing this issue. Additionally, I already tried with the Check corruption tool, but nothing works.

I was almost contemplating the same (getting a new Laptop). But looks like its something else thats broken.

I have been playing since S1. I dont even intend to flame them because as a fellow IT professional, I understand looking into each bug may be taxing. But come on, atleast a confirmation/reply on it would help. :(

It's probably because a blacklisted or unrecognized software is running while you're trying to play League. Blaclisted software includes:

Sandboxes and virtualization Cheat engine Wooxy Macro software

Unrecognized software could include: Antiviruses Borderless gaming apps Mod managers for other games

Also manual config file edits could cause it

I have confirmed it with Sandboxie, Avast Sandbox, COMODO sandbox, Borderless Gaming

And it cannot run in any virtualized environment. If you're a Linux user, you can't play League

Yeah i had read posts around that but I am a Windows user. Like i mentioned, the issue cropped up after i upgraded to Windows 10. Regarding the Blacklisted softwares you mentioned -

Sandboxes and virtualization - No Cheat engine - No. Wooxy - No Macro software - None.

Unrecognized software could include: Antiviruses - Have mcafee. Been running it for 2 years. Never got any issue. Borderless gaming apps - Can you narrow this down ? Mod managers for other games - Nope. I am using this Laptop just for Work or League.

The worthless anti-cheat shit has only been around for 4 months https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/bug-report/GX3Zhxwe-game-client-anti-cheat-known-issues-and-fixes

Borderless gaming apps - Can you narrow this down ?

Just google borderless gaming and the first thing to show up is exactly what i mean

But i upgraded my windows a month and a half back.. So even if it was released 4 months ago, for 2 months it never gave any issue.

My problem is, they can code it in a way that if I am running a third party software which is causing the issue, well the pop up should atleast display that program so that the appropriate action can be taken.

Anyways,I uploaded the dump file atleast to get a response on what software was causing this issue, but i guess i will never know about that :)
