FFS Crashes when I start File Synchronization. I have tried versions 6.8, 6.7 and 6.6 (portable and installation).
I am running Windows 7 64 bit. FFS used to work fine on my system.
However after formatting and re-installing Windows it no longer works. Does FFS rely on any libraries or something like .net?
I tried running in batch mode and enabling logging. It crashed, however the log was empty.

Does FFS create a crash dump file automatically? Is the crash reproducible and what are the steps? If yes, can you send me a mini dump file created with Process Explorer for the FreeFileSync_x64.exe process?

How do I know if FFS creates a crash dump file?
How to reproduce the crash (crashes every time for me):
-add folders to sync (or load profile)
-click on synchronize
(start synchronization now? pops up)
-click on start
(synchronizing... pops up)
-and then before any files are synchronized it crashes and the "stopped working
dialogue show:

I have attached a mini dump file (I made the dump after FFS crashed)
I have also added a screenshot.

If there are no files to synchronize or I deselect them no crash happens.
And synchronization completes showing the completed dialogue as normal.
(see attached screenshot)

I noticed I didn't do the dump from the x64 process. Here is the correct
dump file

FreeFileSync crashes at the following assembly instructionI noticed I didn't do the dump from the x64 process. Here is the correct
dump filetristan-heuer
000000013FAC40F3 vpsrlq xmm3,xmm0,34h
That's from the AVX2 instruction set and your CPU doesn't seem to support it. What CPU do you have?

My CPU is Core i5-4670.
Yes, seems I don't have SP1. I recently re-installed windows and though I installed all the updates through Windows Update. It didn't however, so I manually checked for updates and am installing now.
After getting SP1 I'll let you know if that fixes it.

I have installed SP1 and FFS works now.
Thanks for your help.
