Perfect, that is exactly my issue. Thanks for sharing the link, I'll follow that and see what develops. There are still so many XP users out there that it would be a shame if bitcoin core was not longer able to be run on it.
If I were a core developer I wouldn't care about any people using Windows XP and reporting problems. Sorry but XP is a security risk from my pov and EOL since nearly 2 Years!
For some people hard but the truth...
Sorry, but Win10 is way more of a "security risk" than a well maintained and firewalled XP system, but Win10 still gets support so go figure...
Going to try 0.12.1 and see if it has the same crash syndrome, hopefully not.
